Pressure pulse waveform features may predict treatment-induced regression of left ventricular (LV) mass better than casual brachial blood pressure (BP). We compared predictive power for LV mass reduction between the putative optimal pulse waveform feature (pulse amplification) and the putative optimal brachial cuff measurement (self BP monitoring at home).
