P122 Unrealistic Pulse Pressures from Calibrated Tonometric Waveforms
Abstract Background Calibration of carotid artery tonometry waveforms needs to account for pulse pressure augmentation [1]. Due to its location nearer to the heart, carotid pulse pressure (carPP) is about 10 mmHg lower than brachial (brachPP) [1]. In practice, perfect applanation is hard to achieve...
