Auscultatory blood pressure measurement--effect of pressure on the head of the stethoscope.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Excessive pressure on the stethoscope head in auscultatory blood pressure measurement does not affect systolic blood pressure value but it does erroneously lower diastolic readings and frequently causes the sounds to persist to zero.
