It is commonly accepted that systolic blood pressure (SBP) is significantly higher in the
brachial/radial artery than in the aorta while mean (MBP) and diastolic (DBP) pressures …

Peripheral blood pressure (BP) measurement has remained essentially unchanged over the
last century, and many researchers believe that changes in such measurements fully …

Background Hypertension is a major risk factor for a wide range of cardiovascular diseases
and is typically identified by measuring blood pressure (BP) at the brachial artery. Although …

Measurement of blood pressure is one of the most important and powerful clinical tools in
clinical practice. Physicians use the classical method that was introduced more than 100 …

Background The accuracy of the central aortic systolic (SBP-C) and pulse (PP-C) blood
pressures estimated noninvasively by a generalized transfer function technique has been …

Background: Central aortic SBP (cSBP) may have superior prognostic value compared with
peripheral SBP (pSBP), but noninvasive cSBP measurement techniques have not been …

Central arterial systolic blood pressure is a very important factor in the pathophysiology of
cardiovascular diseases. Central arterial pressure is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk …

Background: Aortic/central blood pressure (cBP) is an important determinant of
cardiovascular risk, and may be more relevant clinically than peripheral blood pressure …

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is estimated at the brachial artery level by adding a fraction of
pulse pressure (form factor;= 0.33) to diastolic pressure. We tested the hypothesis that a …

Reservoir pressure parameters [eg, reservoir pressure (RP) and excess pressure (XSP)] are
biomarkers derived from blood pressure (BP) waveforms that have been shown to predict …
