ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Despite widespread usage of central blood pressure
assessment its predictive value among elderly people remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Central blood pressure is a factor that may predict
cardiovascular events. However, its use in clinical practice is not well consolidated …

Aims To calculate robust quantitative estimates on the predictive value of central pressures
and derived central haemodynamic indices for cardiovascular (CV) outcomes and all-cause …

Objectives: Central blood pressure (BP) predicts mortality independent of office brachial BP.
The aim was to describe reference values for central blood pressure and pulsatile …

The aim of this meta-analysis of longitudinal studies was to obtain a valid and cogent
assessment of predictive value of central haemodynamic variables for cardiovascular …

Objective: It remained unclear whether central blood pressures (BP) provided incremental
prognostic information on cardiovascular disease (CVD) over brachial BP in different age …

Background Controversy exists in the comparison between central and peripheral blood
pressure (BP) in predicting the future cardiovascular risk. Aim To examine whether central …

BACKGROUND Age is known to be associated with the prevalence and pathophysiology of
hypertension. However, there is little information on whether age stands as a good proxy for …

Background Blood pressure (BP) is a cardiovascular risk predictor, but changes during
lifetime. This observational study (OS) compares the value of systolic and diastolic BP earlier …

The predictive value of cumulative blood pressure (BP) on all-cause mortality and
cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (CCE) has hardly been studied. In this …
