Comparing Central Aortic Pressures Obtained Using a SphygmoCor Device to Pressures Obtained Using a Pressure Catheter.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study compared aortic pressures estimated using a SphygmoCor XCEL PWA device (ATCOR, Naperville, IL) noninvasively with aortic pressures obtained using pressure catheters during catheterization procedures and analyzed the impact of a linear-fit function on the estimated pressure values.

Methods

One hundred and thirty-six patients scheduled for cardiac catheterization procedure were enrolled in IRB approved studies. Catheterization procedures were performed according to standard-of-care to acquire aortic pressure measurements. Immediately after the catheterization procedure with the pressure catheters removed, while the patients were still in the catheterization laboratory, central aortic pressures were estimated with the SphygmoCor device (using its inbuilt t
