Results:Ĭentral SBP (cSBP) obtained with each device satisfied the American Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation accuracy criteria when peripheral waveforms were calibrated to invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP)/DBP: estimated − invasive cSBP difference, −4.0 ± 7.4 mmHg, Vicorder, P < 0.001 −1.4 ± 7.9 mmHg, SphygmoCor, P = 0.21. The two devices were also compared noninvasively in a separate group of 90 healthy individuals. Methods:ĭuring cardiac angiography, cBP estimated by the Vicorder and the SphygmoCor was evaluated against simultaneous invasive cBP in 50 patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate cBP estimated by the Vicorder. The Vicorder is a new brachial cuff-based device that estimates central blood pressure (cBP) using a brachial-to-aortic transfer function.

With easily configurable protocols and colour graphic reports, the 'point and click' menu driven tests are reproducably performed by a single operator either in the vascular lab, GP clinic or in domicilliary visits. The Vicorder represents a major breakthrough in performance for portable physiological vascular testing by providing the complete solution to all arterial upper and lower limb examinations as well as carotid and venous testing.
