Objectives We recently found significant age-related increases in brachial-to-radial systolic blood pressure amplification (Bra-Rad-SBP Amp ), and this has implications for correct central SBP estimation. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have vascular irregularities that may alter Bra-R...
