Evaluation of a Novel Brachial Cuff-Based Oscillometric Method for Estimating Central Systolic Pressure in Hemodialysis Patients

<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Elevated wave reflections and arterial stiffness, as well as ambulatory blood pressure (BP) are independent predictors of cardiovascular risk in end-stage-renal-disease. This study is the first to evaluate in hemodialysis patients the validity of a new ambulatory oscillometric device (Mobil-O-Graph, IEM, Germany), which estimates aortic BP, augmentation index (AIx) and pulse wave velocity...
