Does using a fixed form factor value of 0.33 accurately estimate mean arterial pressure?
A fixed form factor value of 0.33 provides accurate estimations of mean arterial pressure, with implications for blood pressure monitoring devices.
Despite higher FF in women and despite interindividual variability in FF, using a fixed FF value of 0.33 yielded accurate and precise estimations of MAP. This finding has potential implications for blood pressure monitoring devices and the study of pulse wave amplification.
