The growth of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a significant component of aortovascular assessment. CBP correlates more precisely with arterial stiffness (AS), TAA growth, and cardiovascular diseases, providing a more reliable forecast of aortovascular diseases, adverse cardiovascular events (CVE), and organ damage than bBP. Integrating CBP into routine clinical practice could enhance aortovascular assessments and therapeutic strategies compared to bBP, especially by gaining a deeper understanding of aortic wave dynamics, which could fundamentally change aortovascular diagnostics and treatment.
