Why the study?
Does the Vasera VS-1500AT automated device accurately measure toe, ankle, and brachial systolic blood pressures compared to manual photoplethysmography in normotensive and hypertensive individuals?
Does the Vasera VS-1500AT automated device accurately measure toe, ankle, and brachial systolic blood pressures compared to manual photoplethysmography in normotensive and hypertensive individuals?
The Vasera VS-1500AT automated device demonstrates strong correlation with manual photoplethysmography for measuring toe, ankle, and brachial systolic blood pressures, suggesting potential utility for peripheral arterial disease screening in primary care.
