May aid noninvasive pseudohypertension screening in elderly men; leaves open prospective validation against intra-arterial standards.
Does the difference between cuff and automatic infrasonic recorder (IR) diastolic blood pressure accurately identify pseudohypertension in elderly hypertensive men compared to intra-arterial measurements?
An automatic infrasonic recorder provides an accurate, noninvasive alternative to intra-arterial measurements for screening and monitoring pseudohypertension in elderly patients.
