Accuracy of oscillometric blood pressure measurement in atrial fibrillation.
The primary aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of automated oscillometry (AO) in outpatients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The secondary aim was to explore whether AO accuracy is influenced by beat-to-beat blood pressure (BP) variability or heart frequency (HF). ⋯ Overall, AO accuracy in AF is limited; in individual patients, AO inaccuracy may be considerable. AO accuracy is especially reduced in patients showing large beat-to-beat BP variability or high HF.
