    This study established a diagnostic threshold of 135 mmHg for central systolic blood pressure to assess cardiovascular risk.

  • 2

    A cohort of 34,289 adults without prior cardiovascular disease was analyzed using the UK Biobank dataset.

  • 3

    Central blood pressure measurements improved cardiovascular disease risk prediction beyond traditional brachial blood pressure.

  • 4

    Individuals with isolated central hypertension faced similar cardiovascular risks as those with both brachial and central hypertension.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for routine central blood pressure measurement in clinical practice for better cardiovascular risk assessment.
