In daily life, many people measure the blood pressure of the arm but measuring the blood pressure of a single arm is inadequate because some hypertension and vascular diseases cannot be detected this way. Synchronous limb blood pressure measurements may be used to close this gap. Measuring synchronous limb blood pressure is very convenient and helps patients understand the value of limb blood pressure and examine many other useful parameters, such as the blood pressure differences between the two arms and two legs, as well as the ankle arm index. These values and derived parameters can also help detect many vascular diseases.Takayasu arteritis is a rare disease in young women. However, the aorta and branches of these patients are narrow or occluded. Patients often experience vague and ambiguous symptoms, such as hypertension or dizziness, so they are likely to be overlooked or misdiagnosed.Our study summarises the results of synchronous limb blood pressure measurements in patients with Takayasu arteritis and compares their results with those of a control population. Synchronous limb blood pressure measurements are easy and convenient and can detect vascular problems, which may improve the ability to diagnose Takayasu arteritis.
