Brachial artery cuff blood pressures are but approximations of central aortic pressures. The
actual pressures against which the left ventricle must pump would be useful clinical …

Background: The non-invasive estimation of aortic systolic (aoSBP) and pulse pressure
(aoPP) is achieved by a great variety of devices, which differ markedly in the: 1) principles of …

We read with interest the article by Jankowski et al1 about the cardiovascular risk associated
with central aortic pulse pressure (aPP). Because the measurement of aPP by invasive …

The aim of our study was twofold: 1) to establish a mathematical link between mean aortic
pressure (MAP) and systolic (SAP) and diastolic aortic pressures (DAP) by testing the …

Following the 2006 expert consensus document of the European Network for Noninvasive
Investigation of Large Arteries [1], arterial stiffness and central pressure measurements …

At present, the aortic pressure (Pa) waveform can only be measured invasively. In this
paper, we describe a new noninvasive method of measuring Pa. The aortic diameter (Da) …

The following article highlights the need for methodological transparency and consensus for
an accurate and non-invasive assessment of central aortic blood pressure (aoBP), which …

We have developed a new technique to estimate the clinically relevant aortic pressure
waveform from multiple, less invasively measured peripheral artery pressure waveforms …

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 …

Background: Two fully automated oscillometric devices have become available for the
noninvasive assessment of central aortic blood pressure (BP). They tend, however, to …
