It is well established that in young and healthy individuals central (aortic or carotid) systolic
and pulse pressures are different from peripheral (brachial) corresponding pressures as a …

For a long time the consideration of blood pressure was based exclusively on
measurements of peripheral (brachial) blood pressure. However, there is now a growing …

Measurement of the arterial blood pressure (BP) is a time-honored, vital piece of medical
information whose accuracy is seldom questioned. This review identifies the unappreciated …

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Hypertension is a major
contributor to cardiovascular risk, and the blood pressure serves as an important biomarker …

Although blood pressure measured at the brachial artery plays a central role in our
understanding and management of cardiovascular risk, in recent years great emphasis has …

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 such a …

Objective: The non-invasive estimation of central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) is
increasingly performed using new devices based on various pulse acquisition techniques …

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

For over a century, blood pressure (BP) measurement at the brachial artery level has been
