  1. Mean and SD are displayed with absolute WIA values (left half of table) and as a proportion of the total wave intensity (right half of table). The absolute values were higher for invasively derived data compared to CMR. When expressed as a % of total wave intensity, the BCW was greater with CMR but the other waves were similar
