Cardiovascular diseases account for the highest mortality globally, but recent advances in
wearable technologies may potentially change how these illnesses are diagnosed and …

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 …

Continuous monitoring of the central blood pressure waveform from deeply embedded
vessels such as the carotid artery and jugular vein has clinical value for the prediction of all …

The recommendations listed in this document are, whenever possible, evidence based. An
extensive evidence review was conducted for the period beginning March 2008 through …

Aims To calculate robust quantitative estimates on the predictive value of central pressures
and derived central haemodynamic indices for cardiovascular (CV) outcomes and all-cause …

Propagation of the pressure wave along the arterial tree (pulse wave velocity [PWV]) is
related to the intrinsic elasticity of the arterial wall. PWV is increased in stiffer arteries and …

Accumulating evidence suggests that central blood pressure (BP) may reflect the
hemodynamic stress on target organs more accurately than brachial BP. A systematic review …

The prognostic value of central systolic blood pressure has been established recently. At
present, its noninvasive assessment is limited by the need of dedicated equipment and …

Objectives: This study was designed to facilitate clinical use of central pulse pressure (PP).
We sought to determine a value that might predict adverse outcome and thereby provide a …

Background: Pulse pressure (PP) provides valuable prognostic information in specific
populations, but few studies have assessed its value on cardiovascular outcomes in a …
