Pressure measured with a cuff and sphygmomanometer in the brachial artery is accepted as
an important predictor of future cardiovascular risk. However, systolic pressure varies …

The original Riva-Rocci method to measure blood pressure (BP) using a cuff at the upper
arm assumed the pressure obtained by this technique was a good proxy for central aortic …

Background: Although compelling evidence has established the physiological and clinical
relevance of aortic SBP (a-SBP), no consensus exists regarding the validity of the available …

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

Since noninvasive central blood pressure (BP) measuring devices are readily available,
central BP has gained growing attention regarding its clinical application in the management …

Background: Central aortic blood pressure (cBP) is often promoted to be a superior predictor
of cardiovascular risk compared to brachial blood pressure, and brachial–central pulse …

Generalized transfer functions (GTFs) are available to compute the more relevant central
blood pressure (BP) waveform from a more easily measured radial BP waveform. However …

Abstract Background/Aims: Elevated wave reflections and arterial stiffness, as well as
ambulatory blood pressure (BP) are independent predictors of cardiovascular risk in end …

Background Accumulating evidence suggests the potential superiority of office aortic blood
pressure (BP) over brachial in the management of arterial hypertension. The noninvasive …

Vascular aging may be responsible for the high residual lifetime risk for hypertension in the
middle-aged and elderly individuals. Increased arterial stiffness and wave reflection has …
