We're thrilled to be attending #ARTERY2024 at the National Museum Cardiff on 10th-11th Oct! Learn how Uscom BP+ brings non-invasive central aortic BP assessment, using familiar cuff methods with high-fidelity accuracy validated by gold-standard measures. #Uscombpplus
@dranulala@DrMarthaGulati@PamTaubMD@ErinMichos@robmentz@QuentinYoumans Studies assume everyone with the same Sys/Dia have the same risks and lowering Sys/Dia achieves similar risk reduction for everyone.
The real world is not that simple. Individual disease, duration, genetics, etc. require measurement of more than Sys/Dia to manage HT/risks
@jbrianbyrd@DrWanpen The data is telling us just measuring BP is not enough. Need new discriminatory measures, ideally independent of BP, to measure risk of stroke, including in those with "normal" or "low" BP.
