Pseudohypertension with calcific aortic stenosis and angina pectoris.
A case of pseudohypertension as demonstrated by a very high systolic blood pressure (more than 280 mm of Hg) by sphygmomanometry and low blood pressure (148/30 mm of Hg) as evidenced by intra-arterial recording who also had severe calcific aortic stenosis, calcified right brachial artery and angina pectoris is described. This case is reported because of the unusual combination of lesions and the therapeutic challenge it poses.
