Figure Lengend Snippet: Radial artery applanation tonometry recording of a 41-yr-old man. The upper long panel shows the radial pressure waveform above the derived central pressure waveform. The bottom left panel demonstrates a magnified radial arterial waveform. Systolic and diastolic pressures are 117/85 mm Hg. The bottom right panel provides a magnified derived central pressure waveform. Central pressure is 105/85 mm Hg.
