Background The Omron HEM-9000AI is the first automated tonometer to provide an estimate
of central SBP (cSBP), which is considered to be more predictive of cardiovascular events …

Objective: To assess the interchangeability of carotid tonometry and synthesized aorta
pressure waveforms for estimating central systolic blood pressure (SBP) and augmentation …

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

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 …

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

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 …

Background The Sphygmocor system purports to be able to assess ascending aortic blood
pressure using a transfer function. It has been shown to be accurate when data obtained …

Background: Central arterial pressure is a better predictor of adverse cardiovascular
outcomes than brachial blood pressure, but noninvasive measurement by applanation …

The advocated SphygmoCor procedure uses a radial-to-aorta transfer function with
calibration on brachial instead of radial artery pressure to assess the central pulse pressure …
