Comparative Analysis of the Results in Arterial Stiffness Between Two Assessment Methods – Sphygmocor Against Mobil-Pulse Wave Velocity – In Hypertensive Patients
Abstract:Objective:
To compare the pulse wave velocity (PWV) results obtained by Sphygmocor AtCor Medical, by radial tonometry, and Mobil-Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor-Pulse Wave Velocity (Mobil-ABPM-PWV) 24 hours, an oscillometric method.
Design and method:
Sixty-three controlled hypertensive (41 female and 22 male) and sixty-three resistant hypertensive (36 female and 27 male) patients were recruited and submitted to evaluation of arterial stiffness by the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
