While for years clinicians have used cuff pressure to assess patients' cardiovascular risk,
recent evidences has shown that aortic pressure, or more specifically aortic systolic and …

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

Our purpose is to review noninvasive methods for measuring central arterial pressure.
Indices of central arterial pressure measured from central aortic and peripheral arterial …

Objective Measurements of central aortic systolic and pulse pressure, either gauged directly
or estimated indirectly, have been shown to be superior to brachial pressure in outcome …

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 …

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 …

Background: Although compelling evidence has established the physiological and clinical
relevance of aortic SBP (a-SBP), no consensus exists regarding the validity of the available …

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

Central arterial pressure, measured close to the heart, may be of more patho-physiological
importance than conventional non-invasive cuff blood pressure. The technique of …

Objectives: Aortic (central) blood pressure (BP) differs from brachial BP and may be a
superior predictor of cardiovascular events. However, its measurement is currently restricted …
