Central aortic pressures have been widely demonstrated to be of greater value than brachial
pressures in predicting cardiovascular events [1]. Central pressures are …

First described over one hundred years ago, the non-invasive measurement of blood
pressure over the brachial artery has remained in clinical practice virtually unchanged ever …

Brachial artery pressures determined by the oscillometric method were compared with
simultaneous central aortic (Ao) pressure measurements in 30 patients undergoing cardiac …

A method for noninvasive generation of central aortic systolic pressure curves is presented.
The method is based on plotting the occlusive pressure values applied at the brachial artery …

This investigation assessed the ability of a non‐invasive method to reproduce aortic root
pressure waveform and pressures. An external pulse tracing of the subclavian artery was …

The ability not only to record automated systolic and diastolic pressure, but also to derive
measurements of the rate of pressure change during the cardiac cycle, would have great …

There are several methods to assess arterial stiffness, wave reflections and central
pressures [6]. Most of them are non-invasive, and thus applicable to large populations …

BACKGROUND Through the impact of conventional risk factors on arteries, several changes
in aortic function contribute to cardiovascular events. It is nevertheless uncertain whether …

A method for estimation of central arterial pressure based on linear one-dimensional wave
propagation theory is presented in this paper. The equations are applied to a distributed …

Previously published data confirm the validity of the transfer function itself in a similar, if
larger, sample population [3]. When calibrated with invasive radial pressure, the mean …
