IN patients with advanced aortic regurgitation Korotkoff sounds may be heard over the brachial artery when the sphygmomanometer cuff has been completely deflated. Diastolic pressures obtained by ...

Using a cuff to assess blood pressure (BP) produces results that are less consistent than those of intra-arterial assessment. The overestimation of diastolic BP and the underestimation of systolic BP ...

A study explains why cuff-based blood pressure readings systematically underestimate systolic blood pressure. High blood pressure is the most important risk factor for premature death. Yet the gold ...

The brachial artery is the chief artery supplying blood to the arm, forearm, and hand. It supplies the tissues of the upper limb with oxygen and nutrients. Two terminal brachial artery branches, the ...

Acoustic stimulation paired with ultrasound imaging reveals resonance properties of an artery. (A) Device placement to measure blood pressure in the carotid artery. (B) Illustration of device ...
