Summary

This study looked at 40 adults having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal was to measure how fast pulse waves travel from the heart to different parts of the body. This helps doctors understand why blood pressure readings can differ between the arm and the leg during surgery, which may affect treatment decisions.
