Abstract

Central systolic pressure (csBP) is strongly correlated with cardiovascular outcomes than brachial pressure. However, until recently there weren’t widely accepted reference values of csBP established yet. The aim of this work was to determine this missing values of csBP assessed by oscillometric method. Patients and methods: csBP was assessed in apparently healthy, asymptomatic patient population using an invasively validated oscillometric device (TensioMed Arteriograph. The collected database was divided into age decades in order to determine the age-specific reference values. Statistical analysis was carried out with IBM SPSS 20 statistical software. Results: 9076 normotensive subject aged 18–90 years (3749 male and 5327 female) without any medication were included into the analysis. Mean csBP values were determined (109.26 ±7.92 mmHg, 109.45±9.09 mmHg, 112.01± 9.69 mmHg, 115.88±10.47 mmHg, 119.23±10.56 mmHg, 121.04±10.9 mmHg, 122.65±11.27 mmHg and 122.65±11.96 mmHg from the age of 18 to 90, respectively). Conclusions: This is the first study providing large number of csBP values measured with arteriograph derived from a healthy general population including wide range of age. Our results suggest that csBP values are highly dependent on age, therefore these results might serve as age-specific reference values for oscillometricly measured csBP.
