May lead to misdiagnosis of hypertension in elderly; leaves open validation of new non-invasive brachial artery instrumentation.
Future research on pseudo-hypertension should focus on developing new non-invasive instrumentation to measure the P1/Csa curve of the brachial artery in vivo in elderly populations.
Foran et al. (2004) conducted a review in Pseudo-hypertension and arterial stiffness. Future research on pseudo-hypertension should develop new non-invasive instrumentation to measure the transmural pressure and cross-sectional area curve of the brachial artery in vivo.
