Does pulse transit time correlate with diastolic blood pressure in anesthetized dogs?
True pulse-transit time correlates well with diastolic blood pressure and can be used to compute pulse-wave velocity, which increases nearly linearly with blood pressure.
Geddes et al. (1981) studied this question.
