Central blood pressure
Central blood pressure is the pressure in the aorta, the largest artery that originates from the heart.
Central blood pressure measurement may better correlate with cardiovascular risk than upper arm
blood pressure measurement because the aorta is more close to the heart and brain, the most vital
organs of the body.
The WatchBP Office Central has surpassed all
requirements of the international standards
The aorta distributes oxygenated blood to
all parts of the body.
