A case of untreated hypertension in a patient, where blood pressure could be measured in the right arm only is presented. At autopsy, the brachio-cephalic artery was found to be occluded explaining why blood pressure values were low. Significant left ventricular hypertrophy indicating high central blood pressure was found. Sudden death followed a spontaneous intracerebral bleeding. The value of conventional blood pressure measurement in patients with arteriovenous shunt because of chronic dialysis is discussed.
