Effects of inter-arm differences of brachial systolic blood pressure on the derivation of aortic systolic pressure

Background: Inter-arm differences in brachial systolic blood pressure (SBP) should not theoretically translate to differences in calculated aortic SBP, there being only a single value of aortic blood pressure (BP) at any time.
