Non-invasive estimation of central systolic pressure: a comparison between radial artery tonometry and a new direct central blood pressure estimation method (DCBP)

Background: We have developed a new proprietary method (DCBP ® Direct Central Blood Pressure) to estimate central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) directly from peripheral pressure. In a previous meta-analysis of published high-fidelity pressure studies with simultaneous aortic and brachial pressure recordings, negligible mean difference between DCBP and cSBP has been documented (1). The accuracy and precision of DCBP against arterial tonometry measurements remain to be documented.
