I just wanted to see if this line of reasoning is correct. Arteriosclerosis in the aorta Decrease: Arterial compliance of where the arteriosclerosis is --> decreased Diastolic P Increase: Systolic P & Pulse pressure Arteriosclerosis in the downstream arteries Decrease: Arterial compliance of where the arteriosclerosis is, Pulse Pressure decreases Increase: TPR, Systolic P & Diastolic P Unequally (Diastolic increased more than Systolic), increase MAP

I just wanted to see if this line of reasoning is correct.

Arteriosclerosis in the aorta

Decrease: Arterial compliance of where the arteriosclerosis is --> decreased Diastolic P

Increase: Systolic P & Pulse pressure

Arteriosclerosis in the downstream arteries

Decrease: Arterial compliance of where the arteriosclerosis is, Pulse Pressure decreases

Increase: TPR, Systolic P & Diastolic P Unequally (Diastolic increased more than Systolic), increase MAP
