Background: New devices have recently been developed using various features of the waveform derived from a brachial cuff for noninvasive estimation of central systolic blood pressure (SBP). Central SBP estimated from brachial oscillometry has never been compared with that estimated from radial tonometry in a Japanese population. Subjects and Methods: We recruited 155 Japanese volunteers (mean age 58 ± 16 years, range 18–99 years; 66.5% women) and estimated their central SBP using brachial oscillometry (Mobil-O-Graph) or radial tonometry (SphygmoCor). Results: The mean (standard deviation) peripheral SBP and central SBP measured with brachial oscillometry was 128 ± 18 mm Hg and 118 ± 16 mm Hg, respectively, while the central SBP estimated using radial tonometry was 119 ± 18 mm Hg. The mean (standard deviation) difference in estimated central SBP between brachial oscillometry and radial tonometry was 0.36 ± 5.9 mm Hg, and the central SBPs estimated using these devices were strongly correlated (r = 0.946, intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.940, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Central SBP estimated using brachial oscillometry was similar to that estimated from radial tonometry in a Japanese population.

Extended spectrum ?-lactamase (ESBLs), produced by Gram negative organisms, are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing extended spectrum cephalosporins, penicillins and monobactam but inactive against cephamycin and imipenem…
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Recently, noninvasive and simple morphological and functional methods have been introduced to assess atherosclerotic vascular…
Background: Previous analyses have identified common variants along with some specific genes and rare variants which are associated with risk of hypertension, but much remains to be discovered. Methods and Results…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Serum magnesium, an essential trace element involved in processes that regulate cardiovascular function, has been linked to the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, the…
Background: Genetic variants causing diseases with hypertension as a secondary feature have previously been identified. Studies focussing on primary hypertension have utilised common and latterly rare genetic variants…
INTRODUCTION: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory fever syndrome distinguished by recurrent attacks of spontaneous peritonitis, pleuritis, fever, and arthritis. It is specifically seen in the…
The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), whether for destination therapy or bridge to transplantation, has gained increasing validation in recent years in patients with advanced heart failure. Arrhythmias can…
The noticeable characteristics of the blood vascular structure are the inconsistent viscosity of blood and the stiffness of the vascular wall. If we can control these two factors, we can solve more problems related to…
Accumulating evidence indicates that central blood pressure (CBP) is a better cardiovascular risk predictor than brachial blood pressure (BP). Although more additional benefits of CBP-based treatment above usual…
