The reliability of automated oscillometric blood pressure (BP) monitors in atrial fibrillation (AF) has been poorly investigated, only comparing different patients with AF and sinus rhythm (SR), and is a method influenced by individual characteristics. This study compared the reliability of the oscillometric device A&D TM-2430 (A&D Company, Tokyo, Japan) with that of a mercury sphygmomanometer in AF patients whose SR was restored after electric cardioversion (ECV). Three consecutive BP measurements were obtained on the day before and about 30 days after ECV in stable treatment conditions. Of the 100 patients studied, 63 reported an SR at follow-up, with a significant increase in systolic BP and a significant decrease in diastolic BP according to both devices. There were no significant differences between the systolic and diastolic biases before and after ECV using Bland Altman analysis (P > .05 each). The oscillometric device analyzed, using three repeated measurements, is reliable in measuring BP in AF patients.

Background: The systolic blood pressure/workload (SBP/MET) slope was recently reported to reliably identify an exaggerated blood pressure response (eBPR) in the normal population and in athletes. We investigated whether the aortic root diameter (AoD) also correlates with an eBPR and vascular function in elite athletes.

Methods: We examined 652 healthy male elite athletes (age 25.

This paper proposes a smartphone-based method for measuring Blood Pressure (BP) using the oscillometric method. For oscillometry, it is necessary to measure (1) the pressure applied to the artery and (2) the local blood volume change. This is accomplished by performing an oscillometric measurement at the finger's digital artery, whereby a user presses down on the phone's camera with steadily increasing force.

Objective:  In this study, we piloted the use of continuous 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring in postpartum patients with preeclampsia with severe features.

Study Design:  We measured continuous BP for up to 24 hours using finger plethysmography. We also used an oscillometric device to measure brachial BP per usual clinical protocol (intermittent BP) during the same monitoring period.

Background And Aims: Arterial function (specifically arterial stiffness) is an important cardiovascular risk factor. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Al ) are established indicators of arterial function. The present study aimed to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of PWV and Al in healthy individuals.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of an oscillometric monitor in anesthetized pigs and its ability to track changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and to detect arterial hypotension and hypertension in reference to direct measurements.

Methods: Mean arterial pressure was measured simultaneously from a catheter in a femoral artery and with an oscillometric cuff placed over the metatarsus in 9 anesthetized pigs (∼6 months old, 35 to 55 kg). Pigs were subjected to maneuvers to alter MAP.
