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 …

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 …

Our aim was to assess the discrepancy in the blood pressure amplification (BPA) value
defined as the aortic-to-brachial increase in systolic BP (SBP) between invasive and …

Background and objective The aortic pressure waveform (APW) provides reliable
information for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. APW is often measured using a …

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

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

Objective To compare estimation of central cSBP by application of a generalized transfer
function (GTF) to a peripheral arterial waveform and from the late systolic shoulder (SBP 2) …

OBJECTIVES Noninvasive brachial systolic blood pressure (nSBP-B) usually approaches
invasive central systolic blood pressure (iSBP-C) with a high correlation. Whether nSBP-B is …

BACKGROUND Although aortic-to-brachial pulse pressure amplification (PPamp) may offer
prognostic information beyond brachial blood pressure (BP), this approach is limited in …

Abstract Purpose of Review To present the evidence that describes what is being measured
by upper-arm cuff blood pressure (BP) and the level of accuracy compared with invasive …
