Presentation Transcript

  1. Central blood pressure: what do we really know today?

  2. Significant and highly variable differencebetween aortic and brachial systolic pressure at all ages Difference between brachial and aortic systolic blood pressure (SphygmoCor) in healthy men (dark blue bars; n=2779) and women (light blue bars; n=2869). The data represent means plus standard deviation. Published online: Eur Heart J. 2014;doi:10.1093/eurheartj/eht565.

  3. Techniques for assessing central blood pressure (A) Invasive cardiac catheterization; (B) direct applanation tonometry of the carotid artery; (C) applanation tonometry of the radial artery; (D) cuff-based oscillometry at the brachial artery. Published online: Eur Heart J. 2014;doi:10.1093/eurheartj/eht565.

  4. Predictive value of central pressure has been investigated in a variety of patient cohorts Published online: Eur Heart J. 2014;doi:10.1093/eurheartj/eht565. Abbreviations: CV, cardiovascular; PP, pulse pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure

  5. Comparative effect of antihypertensive drugson central systolic pressure Published online: Eur Heart J. 2014;doi:10.1093/eurheartj/eht565.

  6. ASCOT trial: difference in central aortic pressure is an important explanation for better outcomes in amlodipine-perindopril regimen “By demonstrating that amlodipine-perindopril therapy is associated with substantially lower central aortic pressure than atenolol-thiazide therapy, the results of the CAFE study provide a plausible and novel mechanism to explain the effects of the different treatment arms in ASCOT.” Williams B, Lacy PS, Thom SM, et al. Circulation. 2006;113:1213-1225.
