Abstract
Introduction The heart and the arterial system are anatomically and functionally connected, although they are frequently studied as separate structures with independent functions. The arterial tree does not act solely as mere conduits for blood flow distribution to the organs but it also modulates the ventricular ejection, transforming the pulsatile stroke volume (SV) into a peripheral continuous flow (essential for metabolic exchange), and maintaining blood pressure (BP) during diastole (necessary for coronary perfusion). Therefore, a complete description of the cardiovascular system should consider not only the cardiac function but also the arterial system and how both work with each other [1, 2].
