Comparison of Influence of Office and 24‐h Central Aortic Blood Pressure on Target Organ Damage in Hypertension by Yueliang Hu, Hui Yang, Guili Chang, Yaya Bai, Alberto Avolio, Qian Wang, Shenshen Gao, Junli Zuo

“…Central aortic pressure waveforms were derived from the radial pressure waveforms with a validated transfer function of the Sphygmocor software, version 8.0 (Atcor Medical, Sydney, Australia). Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cf‐PWV) measurement was performed by sequential placement of the transducer on the femoral artery and carotid artery and determining transit time between the two pulses in reference to the R wave of the ECG. cf‐PWV was calculated as the measured distance from the suprasternal notch to the femoral artery minus the distance from the suprasternal notch to the carotid artery divided by the pulse transit time. …”
