The importance of central hemodynamic metrics such as Central blood pressure (CBP), which directly measure the pressure exerted by the cardiac muscle on the major arteries, offering a more direct assessment of cardiovascular workload compared to brachial blood pressure (bBP), which measures pressure against the walls of peripheral arteries. This review consolidates findings that evaluate the correlation between CBP and key markers of aortovascular disease. The growth of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a significant component of aortovascular assessment.

Introduction And Importance: Leriche syndrome (LS), or aortoiliac occlusive disease, is a rare form of peripheral arterial disease leading to claudication, impotence, and diminished femoral pulses due to atheromatous obstruction of the infrarenal aorta and common iliac arteries. Early identification is crucial as untreated LS can result in severe complications. Treatment primarily involves surgical interventions, with endovascular options considered as alternatives.

The prevalence of systolic hypertension phenotypes based on simultaneous 24-h brachial (br) and aortic (ao) ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) remains unknown. We sought to describe their prevalence and associations with hypertension mediated organ damage (HMOD). Participants with 24-h br and ao ABPM, carotid ultrasound and echocardiography data were categorized into 4 systolic hypertension phenotypes: sustained systolic br and ao normotension (SSN), isolated br systolic hypertension (IbrSH), isolated ao systolic hypertension (IaoSH) and sustained br and ao systolic hypertension (SSH).

Central blood pressure (cBP) is considered a superior indicator of cardiovascular fitness than brachial blood pressure (bBP). Even though bBP is easy to measure noninvasively, it is usually higher than cBP due to pulse wave amplification, characterized by the gradual increase in peak systolic pressure during pulse wave propagation. In this study, we aim to develop an individualized transfer function that can accurately estimate cBP from bBP.

Arterial stiffening is associated with adverse cardiovascular patient outcomes; stiffness may also be associated with postsurgical events and has been suggested to be a fundamental mechanism in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysms. Although open repair of aneurysms decreases aortic stiffness, implantation of a rigid endograft is associated with increased aortic stiffness after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). This review provides an overview of aortic wall physiology and the contemporary understanding of aortic stiffness and its implications for patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
