Why the study?
Does an automatic upper arm oscillometric cuff method accurately and reliably estimate central blood pressure compared to radial tonometry in participants free from cardiovascular disease?
Does an automatic upper arm oscillometric cuff method accurately and reliably estimate central blood pressure compared to radial tonometry in participants free from cardiovascular disease?
Estimation of central systolic blood pressure using an automatic upper arm oscillometric cuff is comparable to radial tonometry and offers a reliable, operator-independent alternative for clinical practice.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Cuff-based central SBP agrees closely with tonometry; leaves open whether it improves risk prediction over brachial BP in prospective cohorts.
Climie et al. (2012) studied this question.
