Central aortic pressure improves prediction of cardiovascular events compared to peripheral blood pressure in short-term follow-up of a hypertensive cohort

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess indices of a comprehensive panel of central aortic pressure and arterial stiffness for prediction of cardiovascular events in a hypertensive cohort. Methods: Noninvasive measurements of central aortic blood pressure, brachial pressure, wave reflection a...
