Developing and validating a diagnostic threshold for central blood pressure in assessing cardiovascular risks
This study established a diagnostic threshold of 135 mmHg for central SBP. Individuals with central HT exhibited elevated risks of CVD, regardless of brachial HT status. Incorporating central BP enhanced the prediction of CVD risk beyond traditional BP measurement alone.
