Implication

Arterial waveform analysis may aid noninvasive compliance assessment; leaves open whether it improves risk stratification or outcomes in hypertension.

Does computerized arterial pulse waveform analysis correlate with other indices of vascular compliance and cardiovascular risk factors in normotensive and hypertensive subjects?

Population

87 subjects including normotensive (n=20), untreated hypertensive (n=21), and treated hypertensive (n=46) individuals

Intervention

Computerized arterial pulse waveform analysis (CAPWA) of the radial pulse to calculate capacitive (C1) and oscillatory (C2) compliance

Comparator

Ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressure (SV/PP) and MRI-based aortic distensibility

Outcome

Correlation of C1 and C2 with SV/PP and MRI-based aortic distensibilitysurrogate

Computerized arterial pulse waveform analysis closely correlates with established compliance techniques and cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting its clinical utility in assessing vascular function in hypertension.
