Case 1 (Dataset 1): Effects of a time-lag between pressure and flow on the Zc estimates. (a): Normalized pressure and flow (dimensionless) in the aorta; p+ and p− denote the forward and backward shifted wave by 10 ms. (b): Effect of a 10 ms time shift on the early ejection phase of the pressure-flow loop (in units of mmHg and ml/s), (c)–(d): impedance moduli (mmHg s/ml) and phase spectra (degrees), (e)–(f): effects of time-lag on the resultant Zc values for the aorta and MPA. Zc± correspond to the Zc estimates obtained using p±.
