Evaluation of a novel sphygmomanometer, which estimates central aortic blood pressure from analysis of brachial artery suprasystolic pressure waves

Abstract

We concluded that Pulsecor R6.5 provides a simple and easy method to noninvasively estimate central SBP, which has highly acceptable accuracy.

Household air pollution and measures of blood pressure, arterial stiffness and central haemodynamics

“…Participant’s brachial and central systolic (bSBP/cSBP) and diastolic BP (bDBP/cDBP) were measured in homes and according to guidelines14 using an oscillometric device (Cardioscope II, PulseCor, New Zealand) that estimates central pressures based on the brachial cuff pressure fluctuations and was validated against invasive central blood pressure (cBP) measurement 15. Following at least 5 min of quiet rest in a sitting position, three measurements were taken at 1 min apart on the participant’s supported left and right arms using an appropriately fitted cuff.…”

Accuracy of commercial devices and methods for noninvasive estimation of aortic systolic blood pressure a systematic review and meta-analysis of invasive validation studies

“…The validity of PulseCor (Uscom, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) was assessed in two studies [31,41]. This apparatus estimates a-BP by using supra systolic oscillometry and transfer function.…”

Reliability of oscillometric central blood pressure and wave reflection readings

“…Recently, oscillometric devices have entered the market, presenting clinically viable options. Although the validity of these devices has been demonstrated [1][2][3][4], further study is required to determine measurement precision under normal clinical operating conditions.…”
