CENTRAL BLOOD PRESSURE ASSESSMENT
Central blood pressure assessment refers to measuring blood pressure in large blood vessels within the body. Physician office equipment for central blood pressure assessment includes tubes called catheters that can be advanced into a body cavity and introduced into a large blood vessel to measure a variety of factors such as vessel stiffness.
Central blood pressure assessment gives physicians a more complete picture of patient blood pressure, blood vessel and heart function and can help identify patients at risk for serious problems such as stroke and congestive heart failure. Central blood pressure assessment is also a valuable tool for doctors to use in evaluating the effectiveness of medical office therapy.
