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 …

Previously aortic stiffness is frequently assessed through pulse pressure and pulse wave
velocity (PWV) measurements. However, these methods need aortic pressure obtained by …

Background: Pulse pressure and aortic pulse wave velocity, measures of arterial stiffness,
are both important determinants of cardiovascular risk. However, assessment of peripheral …

Objective Measurements of central aortic systolic and pulse pressure, either gauged directly
or estimated indirectly, have been shown to be superior to brachial pressure in outcome …

Pressure wave reflection in the upper limb causes amplification of the arterial pulse so that
radial systolic and pulse pressures are greater than in the ascending aorta. Wave …

Current noninvasive techniques for assessing central aortic pressure require the recording
of an arterial pressure wave using a high-fidelity applanation tonometer. We therefore …

Arterial blood pressure is one of the most fundamental measurements in hemodynamics.
The central aortic pressure wave is composed of a forward‐traveling wave generated by left …

The study by Jankowski et al (p 641) confirms that in yet another country (Poland) the
indices of the aortic pressure waveform are related to clinical cardiovascular disease. Other …

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

Objectives To determine the relationship between brachial blood pressure, and transfer
function-estimated and invasively measured central aortic pressure in patients with at least …
