Abstract：Objective To investigate the relationships between central arterial pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity of pilots and general population. Methods The cerebral hemodynamic parameters of transcranial doppler patients and healthy pilots were recorded. At the same time, the blood pressure of both groups was measured three times with a mercury sphygmomanometer and the average value was obtained. The central arterial pressure of these pilots was measured with an A-Pulse CASpro electronic sphygmomanometer. Results There was no association between brachial artery blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity or between central arterial pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity (P>0.05). Two variables, cerebral arterial pressure and brachial artery pressure, were inputted into the regression equation and the result was Y=27.428+0.631X. Conclusion Brachial artery blood pressure is not associated with cerebral blood flow velocity or with central artery pressure. We should not assess the health status of vascular kinetics by brachial artery pressure alone.
