3.3 DISCOVERY OF A NEW BLOOD PRESSURE PHENOTYPE FROM INVASIVE CENTRAL-TO-PERIPHERAL RECORDINGS: IMPLICATIONS FOR BRACHIAL CUFF ACCURACY AND CARDIOVASCULAR RISK ASSESSMENT
Background: Accuracy of brachial cuff blood pressure (BP) may be influenced by individual variability in central-to-peripheral systolic BP (SBP)-amplification, but this has never been determined. We aimed to achieve this by characterising SBP-amplification phenotypes and examining associations with...
