Key result
In hypertensive patients, non-invasive assessment revealed that intracranial hypertension was significantly associated with higher central systolic and diastolic blood pressures.
Why the study?
Does non-invasive intracranial waveform analysis correlate with central blood pressure in hypertensive patients?
Does non-invasive intracranial waveform analysis correlate with central blood pressure in hypertensive patients?
Non-invasive intracranial waveform analysis reveals that intracranial hypertension correlates with elevated central and peripheral blood pressures in hypertensive patients.
The relationship between arterial hypertension and cerebral blood flow (CBF) has been extensively studied due to the role that blood pressure plays in maintaining adequate cerebral perfusion. Cerebral autoregulation is the mechanism by which cerebral blood flow remains relatively constant despite variations in perfusion pressure. In normotensive individuals, the autoregulation range is approximately between mean arterial pressures of 60 to 150 mmHg., In hypertensive patients, there is evidence that this curve shifts to higher values, causing: a) The hypertensive brain [...]

Yugar‐Toledo et al. (2025) conducted an editorial in Hypertension. Intracranial hypertension (ICHT) defined by P2/P1 ratio ≥ 1.2 or TTP ≥ 0.25 seconds vs. Patients without intracranial hypertension was evaluated on Association between intracranial hypertension (ICHT) and central blood pressure (BP) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) values. In hypertensive patients, non-invasive assessment revealed that intracranial hypertension was significantly associated with higher central systolic and diastolic blood pressures.
