Does brachial arterial stiffening affect the accuracy of oscillometric blood pressure measurement in a computational model?
Computational modeling demonstrates that different types of arterial stiffening lead to specific overestimations in oscillometric blood pressure measurements, supporting the clinical observation of pseudo-hypertension in the elderly.
