Central systolic and diastolic pressures are measured non-invasively using a peripheral sensor to capture a patient's peripheral pulse waveform. Either the peripheral pulse waveform or a central pressure waveform generated, e.g., using a transfer method is recalibrated to account for differences between non-invasively measured systolic and diastolic pressure and invasively measured systolic and diastolic pressure. The recalibration is based, at least in part, on cardiovascular features of the patient's waveform. The determined central systolic and diastolic pressure values can be used to generate a corrected central pressure waveform having cardiovascular features preserved and maximum and minimum values set to the determined values.
