Implication

PTT should not yet predict BP in hypertension; hypothesis-generating for SBP correlations in case reports.

Structured PICO

Does pulse transit time accurately predict actual blood pressure in hypertensive subjects?

Population

n=3 hypertensive subjects

Intervention

Measurement of pulse transit time (PTT) via ECG R-wave and peripheral pulse, and blood pressure (BP) via radial artery catheter under a variety of conditions to alter BP

Outcome

Relationship between blood pressure (BP) and pulse transit time (PTT)surrogate

While pulse transit time correlates with systolic blood pressure changes in hypertensive patients, it does not accurately predict actual blood pressure.
