Central Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Central BP measurements provide noninvasive measurement of aortic BP; our objectives were to examine the association of central and brachial BP measurements with risk of cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with CKD and to determine the role of central BP measurement in conjunction with brachial BP in estimating cardiovascular risk.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

In a prospective, longitudinal study (the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort), central BP was measured in participants with CKD using the SphygmoCorPVx System. Cox proportional hazards models were used for analyses.

Results

Mean age of the participants (n=2875) was 60 years old. After a median follow-up of 5.5 years, participants in the highest quar
