True about pseudohypertension?
Ans. D. All of the abovePseudohypertension (Osier's Sign) Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH):a. Pseudohypertension is whenonly systolic blood pressure (>140) is elevated.b. Pseudohypertension is almost always found in older patients.c. As people get older, the walls of the arteries sometimes get very thick, and calcium may be deposited in the arterial wall (arteriosclerosis). This makes the arteries very stiff and difficult to compress.d. Because measuring blood pressure depends on measuring how much force it takes to compress an artery, having thick, difficult-to-compress arteries falsely elevates the sphygmomanometer reading.e. It is not benign: It has doubles risk of MI, triples risk of CVAf. Treatment: Diuretics, Calcium channel blocker
seen in elderly
Only systolic BP is high
Arterio sclerosis is a feature
All of the above
