Association of Central and Peripheral Blood Pressures With Intermediate Cardiovascular Phenotypes

Abstract excerpt

In conclusion, numerous studies have documented a superior relation of central over brachial BP to intermediate cardiovascular phenotypes or cardiovascular target organ damage. In general, PP has been more strongly related to vascular disease, whereas systolic pressure seems to be a more important determinant of LVH. The similarity of findings in a wide variety of patient-based and population-based studies as...
