Abstract Background There is a close relationship between blood pressure levels and the risk of cardiovascular events, strokes, and kidney disease. For many years, the gold standard instrument for blood pressure measurement was a mercury sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope, but this century-old technique of Riva-Rocci/Korotkov is being progressively removed from clinical practice. Central blood pressure is considered better than peripheral blood pressure in predicting cardiovascular events, as it assesses wave reflections and viscoelastic properties of the arterial wall which make systolic and pulse pressures vary from central to peripheral arteries, but mean blood pressure is constant in the conduit arteries. Methods The study included 201 patients with primary hypertension (108 patients with chronic kidney disease and 93 patients without kidney disease). All patients underwent blood pressure measurement by OMRON M2 and Mobil-O-Graph devices, kidney function assessment and abdominal ultrasonography. Results Patients with chronic kidney disease were significantly older (60.02 ± 9.1 vs. 55.33 ± 8.5; P |
