Comparison of Influence of Office and 24-h Central Aortic Blood Pressure on Target Organ Damage in Hypertension.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to explore whether 24-h ambulatory central (aortic) blood pressure (BP) has an advantage over office central aortic BP in screening for hypertension-mediated target organ damage (HMOD). A total of 714 inpatients with primary hypertension and the presence of several cardiovascular risk factors or complications involving clinical HMOD were enrolled. Twenty-four hour central aortic BP was measured by means of a noninvasive automated oscillometric device (Mobil-O-Graph). Office BP was measured with a validated oscillometric Omron device after a 5-min rest in a sitting position. Central aortic pressure waveforms were derived from the radial pressure waveforms with a validated transfer function of the Sphygmocor software, version 8.0 (Atcor Medical, Sydney, Australia).
