Serum ionized calcium and pH: effects of blood storage, some physiological influences and a comparison between normotensive and hypertensive subjects.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Aortic (central) blood pressure (BP) differs from brachial BP and may be a superior predictor of cardiovascular events. However, its measurement is currently restricted to research settings, owing to a moderate level of operator dependency. We tested a new noninvasive device in a large UK cohort. The device ...
