Key result
Central systolic pressure and newer pulse wave indicators do not provide compelling scientific or practical reasons to replace brachial cuff systolic blood pressure in most clinical situations.
Why the study?
Do newer pulse wave transmission indicators add sufficient information to justify replacing or augmenting brachial cuff blood pressure data in research and patient care?

Brachial cuff SBP should remain standard in most care; this review leaves open targeted supplemental roles for central measures.
Do newer pulse wave transmission indicators add sufficient information to justify replacing or augmenting brachial cuff blood pressure data in research and patient care?
Brachial cuff systolic blood pressure remains the standard of care, as newer central pressure indicators do not currently offer compelling reasons for replacement in most clinical situations.
Joseph L. Izzo (2014) conducted a review in Blood pressure measurement. Central systolic pressure and pulse wave transmission indicators vs. Brachial cuff systolic blood pressure was evaluated. Central systolic pressure and newer pulse wave indicators do not provide compelling scientific or practical reasons to replace brachial cuff systolic blood pressure in most clinical situations.
