An auscultatory gap is a temporary disappearance of sounds during the measurement of blood pressure, typically occurring between the systolic and diastolic phases. It can lead to inaccurate readings if not recognized, as it may cause the clinician to underestimate the systolic pressure or overestimate the diastolic pressure. This phenomenon is often associated with conditions like hypertension and arterial stiffness. Recognizing an auscultatory gap is crucial for accurate blood pressure assessment.
