Central blood pressure (BP) correlates more with future cardiovascular risk than peripheral BP.
Practitioners should consider central BP measurements for assessing cardiovascular risk in obese patients.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
La presión arterial (PA) central parece estar más correlacionada que la PA periférica con el riesgo cardiovascular futuro.
