Key result
Non-invasive methods for central blood pressure estimation are reviewed to address the inaccuracies of brachial artery measurements in reflecting central aortic systolic pressure.
Central blood pressure is pathophysiologically more relevant than peripheral pressure, making accurate non-invasive estimation clinically necessary.

May refine hypertension risk assessment beyond brachial BP; leaves open prospective validation of specific non-invasive methods.
Papaioannou et al. (2009) conducted a review in Hypertension. Non-invasive central blood pressure estimation methods was evaluated. Non-invasive methods for central blood pressure estimation are reviewed to address the inaccuracies of brachial artery measurements in reflecting central aortic systolic pressure.
