1. A method of deriving central aortic systolic pressure comprising the steps of:

  • a. creating a set having a predetermined number of blood pressure measurements, the set representative of an arterial waveform;

    b. determining an integer interval value;

    c. averaging a series of consecutive blood pressure measurement readings in the set equal to the integer interval value commencing from the fth blood pressure measurement in the set;

    d. storing the averaged value in a central aortic systolic pressure set; and

    e. setting the central aortic systolic pressure as the highest value in the central aortic pressure set,wherein steps c. and d. are repeated with the value of f commencing at 1 and being incremented by 1 each time until the value of f plus the integer interval value equals the predetermined number of blood pressure measurements in the set.
