Abstract Introduction: The augmentation index (AIx) or central systolic blood pressure (SBP),
measured by radial applanation tonometry, has been reported to be independently …

Objective Limited and conflicting data have been reported on the prognostic relevance of
central blood pressure (CBP) compared with brachial blood pressure (BP) in the anticipation …

Recent automated applanation tonometry can measure radial pulse wave-derived central
blood pressure (CBP), which has shown a prognostic value independently of peripheral …

BACKGROUND Arterial wave reflections are important determinants of central pressure
pulsatility and left ventricular afterload. The augmentation index (AIx) is the most widely used …

Objective: ASE guidelines for the diagnostics of the left ventricle (LV) of diastolic dysfunction
in 2016 suggested using the method of non-invasive assessment of central blood pressure …

Vascular stiffness has been proposed as a simple method to assess arterial loading
conditions of the heart which induce left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). There is some …

Wave reflection at central arteries consists of a major component of left ventricular afterload.
Central augmentation index (AIx) is the most widely used surrogate of wave reflection …

Background: Recently, new devices using oscillometric cuff have been developed to derive
central blood pressure (BP) waveform from brachial BP waveform. Late systolic pressure …

Although resting hemodynamic load has been extensively investigated as a determinant of
left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, little is known about the relationship between provoked …

Background Augmentation pressure has emerged as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular
disease, and endothelial dysfunction has been proposed as related factor. However, the …
