Use of radial artery applanation tonometry and a generalized transfer function to determine aortic pressure augmentation in subjects with treated hypertension
Open accessAbstract
Objectives The purposes of this study were to investigate the use of radial artery applanation tonometry and a generalized transfer function for the assessment of central aortic pressure augmentation in subjects taking commonly used antihypertensive agents (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-adrenergic blockers, Ca2+ antagonists, diuretic therapy).Background Applanation tonometry of the radial artery with a generalized transfer function has been proposed as a means of assessing central aortic blood pressure. Recently, a commercial apparatus based on this technique has become available; we therefore examined the effect of a generalized transfer function on derived central aortic pressure compared with measured brachial blood pressures and also investigated the potential of this technique to assess the influence of differing drug therapy.Methods Two hundred and sixty-two hypertensive patients on stable medication were studied using the PWV Medical Blood Pressure Analysis System (version 2, DAT-1).Results In univariate analysis, augmentation index showed association with age, sex, height and heart rate. In multivariate analysis, diastolic blood pressure and age (positively), height and heart rate (negatively) and sex were significantly associated. After adjustment for these variables, pressure augmentation was not associated with any antihypertensive treatment investigated. Linear relationships were demonstrated between brachial blood pressures and corresponding central pressures derived by transfer function methods.Conclusions Our findings suggest that if adjustment for central-peripheral pressure difference is necessary, simple linear relationships may be sufficient. Age, heart rate and height but not the class of antihypertensive medication affected the degree of pressure augmentation observed using this technique.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
