Patients with advanced aortic calcification have relatively higher invCSBP for the same cuffSBP as compared to patients with less calcification. Advanced aortic calcification in CKD may therefore result in hidden central hypertension despite apparently well-controlled cuffSBP. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04114695.
