Central blood pressure, its derivatives, and arterial stiffness are associated with and help to explain the increased cardiovascular risk in numerous clinical conditions. This wide-ranging association and incremental value in cardiovascular risk prediction beyond traditional health assessments make evaluation of arterial stiffness and central blood pressure an attractive value add to many clinical trial protocols. Dr Winter and Bobby Stutz at AtCor Medical, Inc explain that the analysis of arterial stiffness and the aortic pressure waveform can help characterise the cardiovascular effects of pharmacological agents.
