TABLE 4.
Comparison of cuff-based estimates of central blood pressure and invasively acquired aortic measurements (n = 6)
| Noninvasive | Invasive | Difference (noninvasive – invasive) | P | |
| cSBP (mmHg) | 121 ± 16 | 126 ± 23 | −5 ± 8 | 0.2 |
| cDBP (mmHg) | 83 ± 12 | 75 ± 10 | 8 ± 3 | <0.001 |
| MAP (mmHg) | 98 ± 13 | 99 ± 16 | −1 ± 3 | 0.6 |
All data are presented as mean ± SD or mean difference ± SD of the difference. cDBP, central diastolic pressure; cSBP, central systolic pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure.
