Abstract

Transfer functions may be valid for the derivation of some central aortic waveform characteristics. However, in providing neither improved reproducibility nor data on parameters not obtainable from the radial waveform, transfer function techniques may offer no additional clinical benefit. The absence of correlation between measured and TF-derived aortic AI and wide limits of agreement of other parameters should be considered if this technique is utilized in clinical practice.
