Summary

In this procedure, the provider measures the central arterial pressure with the help of a tonometer placed over the radial artery at the wrist. He then interprets the waveform, applies mathematical calculations to derive the pressure, evaluates the augmentation index (ratio of the arterial pressure to the central pressure), and interprets and reports the findings.
