However, the timing of the reflected wave was not substantiallyaltered by atenolol when normalised to ejection duration. This indicates that the lesser reduction compared the effects of an ARB against those of of cAI with atenolol may at least in part be due a β-blocker on these parameters,18 although to lesser lowering of the intensity of wave beneficial effects of ARB treatment on cAI had reflection compared to treatment with an ARB.
