Abstract Background and Objective Aortic blood pressure (ABP) is a more effective
prognostic indicator of cardiovascular disease than peripheral blood pressure. A highly …

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

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 …

Aim: Sphygmocardiography via applanation tonometry is a non-invasive, bedside
technology which utilises tonometric analysis of the radial artery pulse wave and …

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

Current noninvasive techniques for assessing central aortic pressure require the recording
of an arterial pressure wave using a high-fidelity applanation tonometer. We therefore …

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 …

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 …

Central aortic blood pressure (CABP) is a better predictor for cardiovascular events than
brachial blood pressure. However, direct CABP measurement is invasive. The objective of …

Background The Sphygmocor system purports to be able to assess ascending aortic blood
pressure using a transfer function. It has been shown to be accurate when data obtained …
