Background Central blood pressure becomes increasingly accepted as an important
diagnostic and therapeutic parameter. Accuracy of widespread applanation tonometry can …

Background and aim Pulse wave analysis is a pivotal instrument to estimate central
hemodynamic parameters. Applanation tonometry on radial and/or carotid arteries is usually …

Objective: Central aortic systolic blood pressure (CBP) measured by carotid-femoral pulse
wave velocity (PWV) is gold standard method to estimate true arterial pressure. However …

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

Despite a rollercoaster-like trend caused by a series of scientific confirmations and
confutations related to its clinical usefulness, the interest upon the noninvasive estimation of …

BACKGROUND Central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) can be derived by the general
transfer function of the radial pressure wave, as used in the SphygmoCor device, or by …

OBJECTIVE Accurate determination of MAP is important in the calibration of pressure
waveforms for calculating central blood pressure (BP). Currently, a precise, individualized …

Objectives: The Vicorder is a new brachial cuff-based device that estimates central blood
pressure (cBP) using a brachial-to-aortic transfer function. The aim of this study was to …

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

Background: Antares is an algorithm for pulse wave analysis (PWA) by oscillometric blood
pressure (BP) monitors in order to estimate central (aortic) blood pressure (cBP). Antares …
