The estimated systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) may be considerably higher than the directly measured intra-arterial pressure. (clinicaladvisor.com)
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, measured at the brachial artery, were the key tools for staving off heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular disease (CVD). (suntechmed.com)
140 and DBP ≥90 mmHg, central PP 44.8 mmHg) or systolic diastolic hypertension (brachial SBP ≥140 and DBP ≥90 mmHg, central PP 60.2 mmHg). (atlantis-press.com)
The top number is the systolic pressure and the bottom number is the diastolic pressure. (adctoday.com)
Systolic pressure measures the pressure on the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood, while the diastolic pressure is the pressure on the arteries when the heart is at rest in between heartbeats. (adctoday.com)
MAP is calculated as Diastolic + 1/3 (Systolic minus Diastolic). (adctoday.com)
Results: Compared with the population sample, police officers had significantly increased age-adjusted CVD risk factors (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, smoking prevalence, and alcohol consumption). (cdc.gov)
The haemodynamic parameters of the RA and UA were recorded before the block and 10 min, 20 min, and 30 min after the block using colour Doppler ultrasound to determine the peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), mean velocity (V mean ), pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI) and area.

A B P I L e g = P L e g P A r m {\displaystyle ABPI_{Leg}={\frac {P_{Leg}}{P_{Arm}}}} Where PLeg is the systolic blood pressure of dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial arteries and PArm is the highest of the left and right arm brachial systolicblood pressure The ABPI test is a popular tool for the non-invasive assessment of Peripheral vascular disease (PVD). (wikipedia.org)
In contrast, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) reflected a composite of several arterial segments, some of which were prone to arteriosclerosis alone (brachial and distal arteries) and some to both atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis (aorta and femoral arteries). (medsci.org)
This effect, called "pseudohypertension," is suspected when there is a markedly high BP reading in the absence of end-organ damage, when therapy induces dizziness and weakness without an excessive reduction in BP, or when calcification of the brachial arteries is seen on x-ray. (clinicaladvisor.com)
An increase in blood flow in the forearm arteries has been reported after brachial plexus block (BPB). (biomedcentral.com)
Pulse-wave velocity also increases in stiffening arteries, leading to an early return of the reflected wave, which in turn augments late systolic LV load. (thoracickey.com)
Cords of the brachial plexus3
However, this technique is limited in that the three cords of the brachial plexus are located deep within the pectoral muscles and are scattered around the axillary artery (AA) with a highly variable position. (biomedcentral.com)
At the CCS, the three cords of the brachial plexus are clustered together between the subclavius and serratus anterior muscles and are consistently lateral to the AA. (biomedcentral.com)
It originates from the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus (C5-T1). (medscape.com)
Doppler3
Examined patients underwent clinical studies, ECG in 12 conventional leads, echocardiography in M and B modes, Doppler ultrasonography of the brachial artery. (unboundmedicine.com)
When the artery's pulse is re-detected through the Doppler probe the pressure in the cuff at that moment indicates the systolic pressure of that artery. (wikipedia.org)

Aortic9
To date clinical risk stratification has focused on brachial blood pressures ignoring the complex pulsatility of the aortic wave form. (nih.gov)
Also standard in the devices is the ability to reliably calculate the central aortic waveform shape from a peripheral pressure waveform from either the brachial or radial artery. (karger.com)
Interestingly, the central blood pressure value can be higher than the brachial value if the aortic wall is stiffer than the brachial one. (tensiomed.com)
In a sub-sample ( n = 376, 27% female, aged 63 ± 11), invasive brachial BP was recorded to assess systolic (SBP) amplification (invasive brachial-aortic SBP). (atlantis-press.com)

(wku.edu)
In the demonstrated case (see the picture) the brachial systolicblood pressure value was in the normal range (138 mmHg), while the central systolic blood pressure was abnormally high (144,9 mmHg), exceeding the brachial pressure value and indicating increased central pressure load, which can lead to LVH, vascular hypertrophy and calcification.
