Objectives Central systolic blood pressure is usually estimated by transformation of a
peripheral arterial waveform obtained by tonometry and calibrated from conventional …

Background: Central arterial pressure is a better predictor of adverse cardiovascular
outcomes than brachial blood pressure, but noninvasive measurement by applanation …

The arterial pulse has historically been an essential source of information in the clinical
assessment of health. With current sphygmomanometric and oscillometric devices, only the …

Objective: Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is usually calculated by adding one-third of pulse
pressure (PP) to DBP. This formula assumes that the average value of pulse waveform is …

Evidence suggests that assessment of the central aortic pressure (CAP) of blood is vital for
accurate detection of cardiovascular events and for making treatment decisions. Direct CAP …

Obtaining pulse pressure non-invasively from applanation tonometry requires the calibration
of pressure waveform with brachial systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In the literature …

Background Estimated aortic (or central) systolic pressure (cSBP) differs from peripheral
pressure and may be a better predictor of cardiovascular events. SphygmoCor®(AtCor …

The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) used the automated office blood
pressure (AOBP) technique for determining the BP status of patients, including BP criteria for …

BACKGROUND Central blood pressure (BP) can be estimated noninvasively by analyzing
brachial artery waveforms. In this study, our aim was to assess the validity of a brachial cuff …

Although ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring provides a better guide to the
management of hypertension, 1–4 these devices are cumbersome and inconvenient, and …
