I
Intervention
Pulse wave analysis using the SphygmoCor system
O

Limits of normality for central pulse pressure (PP) and peripheral and central augmentation indexes (AIxs)surrogate
This study provides preliminary diagnostic thresholds for pulse pressure and augmentation indexes in a healthy Chinese population.
Limitations
- Pending further validation in prospective studies
