Central aortic blood pressure (CBP) is increasingly considered a better cardiovascular
prognostic marker than conventional cuff brachial blood pressure. Because CBP cannot be …

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 …

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 …

Background Recent evidence suggests that central aortic blood pressure may be a better
predictor of cardiovascular risk than peripheral blood pressure. The central SBP (cSBP) can …

The ubiquitous brachial cuff method gained widespread clinical acceptance for blood
pressure recording after confirmation of its prognostic value in 1917. This method displaced …

BACKGROUND New techniques that measure central blood pressure (BP) using an upper
arm cuff-based approach require performance assessment. The aim of this study was to …

Background and objectives Non-invasive methods based on applanation tonometry have
been proposed to estimate central blood pressure. However, the accuracy of these methods …

Central blood pressure is increasingly considered to be more predictive of cardiovascular
events than peripheral pressure. Central systolic pressure (cSBP) can be estimated from the …

Objective. To estimate the repeatability of radial pulse wave analysis (PWA) in measuring
central systolic and diastolic blood pressures (cSBP/cDBP), pulse pressure (cPP) …
