Central aortic pressure improved the prediction of cardiovascular events compared to peripheral blood pressure over a 2-year follow-up in hypertensive patients older than 60 years.
Does central aortic pressure measurement improve prediction of cardiovascular events compared to peripheral blood pressure in hypertensive patients aged >60 years?
Central aortic pressure is a better predictor of cardiovascular events than peripheral blood pressure in older hypertensive patients over a short-term follow-up.
: Central pressure improved prediction of CVD compared to peripheral pressure during a relatively short-term follow up of approximately 2 years at age >60 years.
Zuo et al. (2018) studied this question. Central aortic pressure improved the prediction of cardiovascular events compared to peripheral blood pressure over a 2-year follow-up in hypertensive patients older than 60 years.
