What is the elastic recoil of the aorta on a graph?

If you see the cardiac cycle and you see the dichrotic notch, and there is a slight elevation of the aortic pressure after this notch, that's because of the pressure exerted by the elastic recoil of the aorta. Just imagine a bigger hill, followed by a smaller hill and the indentation between these two hills is the dichrotic notch and the hill after this notch is the graphic representation of the elastic recoil of the aorta. Hope this helps.
