Simple blood pressure cuff may rival gold standard for artery health
NCT ID NCT06836622
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares three methods of measuring pulse wave velocity, a key indicator of artery stiffness that helps predict heart risk. Researchers will enroll 350 adults with high or uncontrolled blood pressure. Participants will have measurements taken with a neck-and-groin sensor, a special blood pressure cuff, and a mathematical formula to see how well the simpler methods match the gold standard.
