Arterial hypertension (AH) is the leading global cardiovascular risk factor, associated with ischemic heart disease, stroke, and renal failure. Despite its high prevalence and serious clinical consequences, the identification and monitoring of hypertension are hindered by intermittent and sometimes imprecise measurements obtained with traditional cuff-based devices.
Accurate blood pressure measurement is the cornerstone of hypertension screening, monitoring, and management. Conventional devices, such as cuff sphygmomanometers, are reliable but provide only point measurements and may be uncomfortable, limiting their use for continuous or ambulatory monitoring.
