Independent measurement of high blood pressure changes in cuff-less blood pressure monitoring

Hypertension is the main cause of deaths in 55.3% of cardiovascular patients globally and 30% of our population over the age of 40 is a victim of this silent killer. Arterial stiffness (AS) is the main cause of hypertension and pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the current measurement gold standard for A...

Zusammenfassung:Hypertension is the main cause of deaths in 55.3% of cardiovascular patients globally and 30% of our population over the age of 40 is a victim of this silent killer. Arterial stiffness (AS) is the main cause of hypertension and pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the current measurement gold standard for AS. Pulse arrival time (PAT), the measure of PWV, has shown to demonstrate a strong correlation with blood pressure measurement.
