Background The prognostic value of central aortic pulse pressure (PP-C) may have been
underestimated due to its measurement inaccuracy. We aimed to investigate the accuracy of …

Several hemodynamic indices, measured invasively in the ascending aorta during routine
angiography, are related to the presence and severity of coronary atherosclerosis. Radial …

Background Recently it has been proposed a new approach to estimate aortic systolic blood
pressure (aoSBP) without the need for specific devices, operator-dependent techniques …

The pulsatile component of blood pressure (ie, pulse pressure) has received considerable
attention as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In particular, central blood …

Objective: For ease of measurement, and the utility of ambulatory central aortic blood
pressure measurement, there has been a move toward brachial cuff-based devices for non …

Objectives Recently, a novel method to estimate aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV)
noninvasively from an oscillometric single brachial cuff waveform reading has been …

Estimation of aortic and left ventricular (LV) pressure usually requires measurements that
are difficult to acquire during the imaging required to obtain concurrent LV dimensions …

Introduction: It has been demonstrated that the noninvasive evaluation of aortic blood
pressure has a prognostic value but limited by the inaccuracy linked to technical errors and …

Background: Concerns persist about the validity of generalized transfer function-derived,
aortic blood-pressure measurements during the administration of vasoactive agents in …

It is remarkable that despite considerable advances in methods and technologies to assess
the function and integrity of the cardiovascular (CV) system, the technique for measuring …
