Abstract Central blood pressure, i.e., the blood pressure near the heart, is an important physiological indicator of the
cardiovascular function of a patient. However, direct measurement of this quantity is rarely carried out due
to the invasive nature of the procedure. Instead, blood pressure at the arm (brachial artery) measured
through an inflatable cuff is commonly used to represent or estimate the central blood pressure. On the
other hand, the aortic pressure propagates downstream in the form of pulse waves, which have to pass
through a complex and compliant vascular network to reach the brachial artery. Therefore, the efficacy of
cuff-measured… More >
