Table 2.

Estimates of characteristic impedance and hemodynamic parameters under various conditions. The table lists critical frequency (fc), HR, cardiac output (CO), mean pressure (Pmean), and pulse pressure (Ppulse). Values correspond to the hemodynamic conditions described by datasets 1–3 in Section 2.1. For comparison, pressure and flow units are converted to mmHg and cm/s for all datasets. Zc estimates listed below were also plotted, with original units, in the figures mentioned in last column.
