Noninvasive Tools Used Nowadays in both, Clinical Practice and Trials in Order to Assess Blood Pressure
Journal Title: Journal of Hypertension and Management - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Hypertension affects currently around 1 billion people worldwide and cardiovascular disease remains the most frequent cause of mortality worldwide. Hypertension societies publish cyclically recommendations how to diagnose and manage this illness. Some of them describes tools used to diagnose this disease, others do not. However nowadays many new methods are introduced to assess blood pressure (BP) values. Some of them allow only to obtain central or systolic BP, others are used currently only in animal studies. Some studies proved that they may be a useful tool to assess BP values noninvasive in the future. Here we present a short review regarding methods described in literature to assess BP.
