Table A2.

The model input parameters, where the mean and standard deviation can vary with age (in yr)

Cardiovascular Property	Mean Value	Standard Deviation
Cardiac
Heart rate, beats/min	Nonlinear, see text	11.2
Stroke volume, ml	72.7–0.253 × age	18.1–0.081 × age
Left ventricular ejection time, ms	282	23.3
Peak flow time, ms	79.0	11.0
Reverse flow volume, ml	0.730	0.630
Arterial
Length of proximal aorta, % of 25-yr-old	80.0 + 0.800 × age	10.7 + 0.107 × age
Diameter of larger arteries, % of 25-yr-old	90.9 + 0.365 × age	8.18 + 0.033 × age
Pulse wave velocity	Nonlinear, see text	Nonlinear, see text
Vascular beds
Mean arterial blood pressure, mmHg	Nonlinear, see text	7.98–0.00952 × age
Peripheral vascular compliance, % of 25-yr-old	128.4–1.136 × age	35.2–0.311 × age

Coefficients are given to three significant figures. % of 25-yr-old indicates the percent change from the value(s) in the 25-yr-old baseline model.
