Banks, M J; Erb, N; George, P; Pace, A; Kitas, G D
- Abstract
Hypertension and its cause may be missed by failure to measure blood pressure in both arms. We report a case of Takayasu's arteritis where diagnostic confusion arose because there was a failure to detect a difference in blood pressure between the arms.
