Prognostic Value of Noninvasive Central Blood Pressure and Arterial Stiffness in Hemodynamic Shock
Authors' conclusion
Low central BP and increased Aix were linked to a higher mortality in shock patients. PWV had no prognostic value.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with septic or cardiogenic shock admitted to the ICU of a tertiary university hospital
- Participants
- 57 patients
- Outcome
- Prognostic value of central BP and arterial stiffness (PWV, Aix) for mortality
Methodological detailsmonocenter, Central blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness recorded with Mobil-o-Graph 24h PWA and SphygmoCor XCEL
- Monocenter
- Central BP and arterial stiffness recorded with Mobil-o-Graph 24h PWA and SphygmoCor XCEL
