Measurement technique affects observed bilateral BP differences; hypothesis-generating for whether standardized protocols eliminate artifactual asymmetry.
Do study methods, such as cuff deflation rate and recording technique, affect the observed difference in bilateral simultaneous systolic blood pressure measurements?
Methodological factors, such as cuff deflation rate and recording techniques, may account for the large differences in bilateral blood pressure measurements reported in previous studies.
D. R. Goldhill (1986) studied this question.
