Case Presentation: introduction:Pseudohypotension, a phenomenon where blood pressure readings falsely suggest hypotension, poses a significant diagnostic challenge, especially when associated with subclavian artery stenosis. The condition can lead to misleading interpretations of a patient’s hemodynamic status, impacting clinical decision-making and therapeutic interventions. In this presentation, we explore a case of pseudohypotension due to subclavian artery […]
