Simultaneous bilateral BP measurement may reduce artifactual inter-arm differences; leaves open effects on clinical decision-making.
Does simultaneous bilateral blood pressure measurement reduce the incidence of artifactual inter-arm blood pressure differences compared to nonsimultaneous measurement?
Simultaneous bilateral blood pressure measurement significantly reduces the incidence of artifactual inter-arm blood pressure differences compared to nonsimultaneous measurement, highlighting its importance in clinical screening.
