Analysis of non-invasive central aortic pressure using a Web-based international database

使用基于网络的国际数据库对无创中心动脉压进行分析。按惯例，测量血压的方法是在上臂周围套上袖带。心脏(中央主动脉)和手臂的压力之间存在着显著的差异。这家工业合作伙伴开发的技术允许对主动脉压进行非侵入性测量，这一值与许多形式的心脏疾病相关。我们将开发一个基于网络的系统和软件协议，为主动脉压的流行病学分析提供工具。这一设施将在人类血压流行病学历史上首次提供将正常和异常衰老变化与心脏血压联系起来的手段。

Analysis of non-invasive central aortic pressure using a Web-based international database. Blood pressure is measured conventionally with a cuff around the upper arm. A marked difference exists between pressure at the heart (central aorta) and that in the arm. Technology developed by the industrial partner allows non-invasive measurement of aortic pressure, a value relevant for many forms of heart conditions. We will develop a web-based system and software protocols to provide a facility for epidemiological analysis of aortic pressure. This facility will provide, for the first time in the history of epidemiology of blood pressure in humans, the means to relate normal and abnormal aging changes to pressure at the heart.
