We report a case of pseudohypertension seen at our hospital. The true prevalence of this condition is unknown. We remind clinicians of Osler's manoeuvre (the palpability of the pulseless brachial artery) which can be used as a screening test for its presence. The diagnosis is made by documentation of normal intraarterial blood pressure with elevated values as measured by mercury sphygmomanometry. Antihypertensive therapy is not indicated and may be dangerous.
我们报告了在我院发现的一例假性高血压病例。这种情况的真实患病率尚不清楚。我们提醒临床医生注意奥斯勒手法(触诊无脉的肱动脉),它可作为筛查该疾病的一项检查。诊断依据是通过动脉内血压正常,而用汞柱式血压计测量值升高来确定。不建议进行抗高血压治疗,且这种治疗可能存在危险。
