Description of the two protocols. (a) R refers to studies exclusively in the office at rest of 35 participants. (b) R+A refers to the studies at the office at rest and in ambulatory conditions of 83 participants. Tonometry (TM) was done at the radial artery by means of the SphygmoCor and oscillometry (OM) at the brachial by means of the Mobil-O-Graph. The SphygmoCor was calibrated by the brachial blood pressure obtained by the Mobil-O-Graph in the study R and by the OMRON 705IT in the study R+A.
