P5.10 MAJOR BRACHIAL-TO-RADIAL-SYSTOLIC-BLOOD-PRESSURE-AMPLIFICATION OCCURS IN HEALTHY PEOPLE AND IS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED WITH AGE

Objectives: The reference standard for non-invasive central blood pressure (BP) measurement is radial tonometry calibrated using brachial BP. Brachial-to-radial-systolic-BP-amplification (Bra-Rad-SBPAmp) may introduce error into central BP measurement but the magnitude of Bra-Rad-SBPAmp in healthy p...
