Abstract
The arterial origin of the intraventricular pulse wave is generally accepted (1, 2, 3, 7); like any systemic arterial signal the ICP signal is composed of a diastolic and a systolic component. This intraventricular systolic pulse (IVSP) may be considered a a rhythmic increment injected in the cranial cavity. The pressure response induced by this systolic increment of volume will reflect the overall elasticity of the intracranial contents, and so the ISVP may be used as a P/V response.
