Changes in cardiac contractility during graded exercise are greater in subjects with smaller body mass index, and greater in men than women: analyses using wave intensity and force –frequency relations

ConclusionsThe FFR was obtained noninvasively by carotid arterial wave intensity (WD1) and graded exercise. The slope of the FFR decreased with an increase in BMI, and was steeper in men than women.
