The central aortic pressure (CAP) provides insights into the prediction, prevention,
diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular disease, but can't be directly measured non …

The pressure pulse is amplified between the aorta and peripheral sites. This study compares
two methods to estimate pressure pulse amplification (PPA) between the aorta and the …

Conventional brachial blood pressure (BP) measurement by sphygmomanometry is simple
and has remained the gold standard for the measurement of BP for over a century …

Arteriosclerosis—arterial stiffening—is the basic cause of isolated systolic hypertension
(ISH) and the present epidemic of heart failure in the elderly. 1 Arteriosclerosis is equally …

OBJECTIVES: Central systolic blood pressure (CSBP) is the pressure in the root of aorta,
which directly influences organs such as brain, heart and kidneys and is related to organ …

Central aortic pressure (CAP) is a potential surrogate of brachial blood pressure in both
clinical practice and routine health screening. It directly reflects the status of the central …

BACKGROUND Because of the invasive nature of catheterization, limited information is
available on hemodynamic interaction between the left ventricle and aorta using invasive …

Peripheral (brachial) pulse pressure normally exceeds central (aortic) pulse pressure but is
a less powerful predictor of cardiovascular risk. The difference between the 2 variables …

Mitchell et al1 promote a controversial view that elevated pulse pressure in systolic
hypertension of older subjects is attributable to decreased diameter and elevated …

We introduce a patient-and time-specific technique to estimate the clinically more relevant
aortic pressure (AP) waveform and beat-to-beat relative changes in cardiac output (CO) from …
