Pulse waves from the aortic arteries (APW). A- APW before pandemic period. B-APW after pandemic period. P1 = First systolic peak; P2 = Second systolic peak; Pf = Forward or ejection wave; Pb = Backward or reflection wave; SBPc and DBPc = central systolic and diastolic blood pressures; PPc = central pulse pressure. AIx@75=(P2-P1)/cPP*100 corrected for a heart rate of 75 bpm. AIx@75 = 19% and AIx@75 = 37% in A and B, respectively
