Abstract
The use of a generalized TFF in combination with well-calibrated radial pressure curves yields estimates of SBP in good agreement with carotid tonometry. Although AIx derived from a measured radial pressure curve correlates surprisingly closely with AIx measured on a synthesized aortic pressure curve, the correlation with a directly measured AIx on carotid signals is relatively poor.
