Key result
A wrist-mounted tonometer device showed strong concordance with conventional hand-held radial tonometry for measuring augmentation index, though long-term use may cause skin bruising.
Why the study?
Does a wrist-mounted tonometer device provide comparable radial augmentation index measurements to conventional hand-held tonometry?

Wrist-worn tonometer technology offers a feasible alternative to hand-held probes for measuring radial augmentation index, potentially enabling ambulatory arterial waveform assessment.
Sharman et al. (2018) reported an editorial. Wrist-mounted tonometer device vs. Hand-held radial applanation tonometry was evaluated on Concordance of radial augmentation index (AIx) measures. A wrist-mounted tonometer device showed strong concordance with conventional hand-held radial tonometry for measuring augmentation index, though long-term use may cause skin bruising.
