Why the study?
Does Pulse Wave Ultrasound Manometry (PWUM) provide feasible noninvasive aortic pulse pressure measurements compared to radial and brachial methods in normotensive, pre-hypertensive, and hypertensive subjects?

Caution against equating peripheral and aortic PP outside hypertension; leaves open PWUM validation for broader use.
Does Pulse Wave Ultrasound Manometry (PWUM) provide feasible noninvasive aortic pulse pressure measurements compared to radial and brachial methods in normotensive, pre-hypertensive, and hypertensive subjects?
Pulse Wave Ultrasound Manometry (PWUM) is a feasible, non-invasive method for measuring central aortic pulse pressure, which correlates strongly with peripheral pressures in hypertensive patients but not in normotensive or pre-hypertensive individuals.
