Central systolic blood pressure and central pulse pressure predict left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive children
2019
Background
Central systolic and pulse pressures are stronger predictors of cardiovascular risk and hypertensive organ damage than brachial blood pressure. It is suggested that isolated systolic hypertension typically seen in adolescents is associated with normal central blood pressure and does not lead to organ damage and this phenomenon is called spurious hypertension.
