Background: Hypertension (HTN) is the single greatest cardiovascular risk factor worldwide.
HTN management is usually guided by brachial cuff blood pressure (BP), but questions …

While for years clinicians have used cuff pressure to assess patients' cardiovascular risk,
recent evidences has shown that aortic pressure, or more specifically aortic systolic and …

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 …

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

Radial intra-arterial blood pressure (BP) is sometimes used as the reference standard for
validation of brachial cuff BP devices. Moreover, there is an emerging wearables market …

Background: Relations between central pulse pressure (PP) or pressure amplification and
major cardiovascular disease (CVD) events are controversial. Estimates of central aortic …

The heart, brain and kidneys are key targets of pulsatile damage in older people and in
patients with longstanding hypertension. These central organs are exposed to central …

Objectives: The reference standard for noninvasive estimation of central blood pressure (BP)
is radial tonometry calibrated using brachial SBP and DBP. Brachial-to-radial-SBP …

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

Objectives Central systolic blood pressure is usually estimated by transformation of a
peripheral arterial waveform obtained by tonometry and calibrated from conventional …
