Accurate Measurement of Blood Pressure
Accurate Blood Pressure (BP) measurement is vital for appropriate diagnosis and management of cardiovascular risk. However, questions remain on the accuracy of cuff BP compared with invasive (intra-arterial) BP.

Educational intervention improves measurement of blood pressure skills in Iranian medical students [PDF]
Background: The routine method of measuring blood pressure (BP) is subject to numerous pitfalls. We evaluated the impact of a guidelines-based educational intervention on improvement of BP determination by fourth-year Iranian medical students.

Simultaneous determination of wave speed and arrival time of reflected waves using the pressure-velocity loop [PDF]
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be found at the link below.In a previous paper we demonstrated that the linear portion of the pressure–velocity loop (PU-loop) corresponding to early systole could be used ...

Pitfalls in blood pressure measurement in daily practice [PDF]
Background. Accurate blood pressure (BP) readings and correctly interpreting the obtained values are of great importance. However, there is considerable variation in the different BP measuring methods suggested in guidelines and used in hypertension ...

Influence of short-term blood pressure variability on blood pressure determinations. [PDF]
To evaluate the effect of blood pressure variability on Riva Rocci Korotkoff blood pressure determinations, we studied the intra-arterial pressure during Riva Rocci Korotkoff determinations in 25 patients. In 50 measurements with a cuff deflation rate of 2.5 mm Hg/sec, the systolic intra-arterial pressure at Korotkoff phase 1 was 2.1 (95% confidence ...

Estimated central blood volume in cirrhosis [PDF]
The estimated central blood volume (i.e., blood volume in the heart cavities, lungs and central arterial tree) was determined by multiplying cardiac output by circulatory mean transit time in 19 patients with cirrhosis and compared with sympathetic ...
