Relation of blood pressure and organ damage: Comparison between feasible, noninvasive central hemodynamic measures and conventional brachial measures

Journal of Hypertension May 07, 2018

Lindroos AS, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers determined if central SBP and pulse pressure (PP) measured noninvasively with a novel cuff-based stand-alone monitor are more strongly related to hypertensive end-organ damage vs corresponding brachial measures. Participants were drawn from the general population (mean age 57.2 years, 55.3% women). Positive correlation of all blood pressure (BP) measures with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and intima–media thickness (IMT) was shown. An equally strong correlation of brachial and central SBP with LVMI and IMT was also observed. Overall, compared with corresponding brachial measures, no improved diagnostic accuracy for end-organ damage was offered by central SBP and PP measured with a stand-alone noninvasive BP monitor.
