Why the study?
Does noninvasive continuous finger blood pressure measurement with the Finapres device accurately reflect intrabrachial blood pressure in patients with therapy-resistant hypertension and vascular disease?
Does noninvasive continuous finger blood pressure measurement with the Finapres device accurately reflect intrabrachial blood pressure in patients with therapy-resistant hypertension and vascular disease?
The Finapres device can reliably measure group-averaged blood pressure responses to cardiovascular stimuli in patients with vascular disease, though individual measurements may over- or underestimate intrabrachial pressure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Finapres may support group-level BP responses in resistant hypertension; leaves open individual accuracy versus intrabrachial readings.
Bos et al. (1992) studied this question.
