Clinicians should limit maximum cuff pressure to avoid artifactual SBP elevation; extends evidence on sphygmomanometric measurement artifacts.
Does high maximum arm-cuff pressure during sphygmomanometry induce short-term blood pressure changes in normotensive subjects?
Applying excessively high maximum arm-cuff pressures during sphygmomanometry can induce artifactual increases in systolic blood pressure ('cuff-inflation hypertension').
