Interarm Difference in Blood Pressure, an Unspoken Necessity: A Comparative Study Among Normotensive and Age-Matched Hypertensive Individuals in a Tertiary Care Centre in South India
A clinically meaningful difference in interarm BP was observed; however, due to the limitation caused by our small sample size, this difference did not reach statistical significance on comparison of IAD among these individuals (p > 0.05). This should not take away from the clinical relevance provided by the results. The results of this study underline the importance of checking BP in both arms and the need to make it a part of daily clinical practice.
