Why the study?
Is there a relationship between short-term fluctuations in aortic pulse pressure and left ventricular ejection time in heart transplant recipients?
Population
17 male heart transplant recipients, mean age 48 +/- 6 years, studied 16 +/- 11 months after transplantation.

May inform vascular-ventricular monitoring in transplant recipients; leaves open clinical utility and requires prospective validation.
Is there a relationship between short-term fluctuations in aortic pulse pressure and left ventricular ejection time in heart transplant recipients?
In heart transplant recipients, short-term blood pressure variability is strongly correlated with left ventricular ejection time.
Chemla et al. (2000) studied this question.
