Horizontal axis: phases of the cardiac cycle (22.4 ms per sample). Vertical axis: area of the lumen normalised by the proto-diastolic area. Plain line: ascending aorta, dotted line: descending aorta. The propagation delay of the pulse wave in the aortic arch is visible and the larger distensibility of the aortic wall at the level of the descending aorta is visible as well.
