Abstract Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is used as an index of arterial stiffness worldwide. One
standard PWV is the carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV). Articles reporting the usefulness of …

A low ankle‐brachial index (ABI) calculated using systolic blood pressure (SBP)(ABIsbp) is
associated with poor cardiovascular outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction …

Background: Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD),
but it remains unclear which component—alone or in combination—is the best predictor. We …

Background Twenty-four-hour blood pressure variability (BPV) is independently related to
cardiovascular outcomes, but limited and conflicting evidence is available on the relative …

There are indications that in persons of older age, systolic blood pressure (SBP) is no longer
associated with mortality. This raises the question whether the predictive value of SBP …

Nowadays the studies evaluating the relationship between blood pressure and (total and
cardiovascular) mortality in the elderly have provided conflicting results. Aim of the study …

Background Hypertension (HBP) is a common disease among both men and women.
Central blood pressure (CBP) is a method of evaluating aorta pressure that can assess the …

Objectives: Many recent researches emphasize the importance of identification the
hemodynamic profile in hypertensive patients as a valuable tool in hypertension …

Introduction Current evidence suggests that aortic blood pressure has a superior prognostic
value with respect to brachial pressure for cardiovascular events, but direct measurement is …

Background Increased arterial stiffness caused by elevated Blood Pressure (BP) can be
indicated by the Cardio-ankle Vascular Index (CAVI). However, the relationship between …
