The lecture was attended by more than 200 physicians across the country and International faculty.

The synopsis of the lecture.

Central blood pressure is emerging as a better predictor of cardiovascular outcome than brachial pressure. Central blood pressure has shown as a better reflection of target organ damage when compared with the brachial pressure. Using Brachial pressure as a surrogate of central blood pressure is been now considered as not accurate. The central blood pressure is always different than brachial pressure and the difference depends on the pressure amplification due to arterial stiffness. The drugs effect on brachial and central also is different, promoting many pharmaceutical company to establish their blood pressure lowering effect in the central pressure. In future hypertension management will be based on arterial stiffness and central systolic and pulse pressure.
