Central systolic blood pressure (CSBP) is the pressure in the root of aorta, which directly influences organs such as brain, heart and kidneys and is related to organ damage. Its value increases with the aortic stiffness. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships of CSBP to aortic stiffness parameters.
