title: [The vessel-mechanics of the common carotid artery in arterial hypertension].
abstract: The pressure-diameter relationship of the intact common carotid artery was studied in each of 36 normotensive and hypertensive patients of the same age. The diameter and its changes by pulse pressure were measured using an ultrasound echo-ranging device. The arterial blood pressure simultaneously was determined by the auscultatory method...
