Non-invasive Validation of Non-invasive Central Blood Pressure Measurements Using Oscillometric Pulse Wave Analysis

Universitätsmedizin Mannheim119 enrolled

Overview

There is growing evidence that central blood pressure is a better predictor of hypertensive end-organ damage and cardiovascular outcome than routine brachial readings. The investigators aimed to evaluate the accuracy of a novel device for the non-invasive determination of central blood pressure based on automated oscillometric radial pulse wave analysis.
