Estimates of arterial stiffness and central blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes: A comparison of SphygmoCor and Arteriograph

The Arteriograph is a cuff-based oscillometric device for non-invasive assessment of central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), aortic augmentation index (Aix) and aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV). Reproducibility of Arteriograph measurements and the agreement with SphygmoCor in diabetic patients has never been assessed.
