Melléknyomás

Melléknyomás is a Hungarian term that translates to "secondary pressure" or "auxiliary pressure." It is most commonly used in the context of medical and physiological measurements, specifically referring to blood pressure readings taken in a non-standard location or under specific conditions. For example, it might refer to blood pressure measurements taken on the arm while the patient is in a different position than the usual seated or supine posture, or it could indicate readings from an accessory device.

In some clinical settings, melléknyomás might be used to assess the consistency of blood pressure readings throughout the body or to investigate potential discrepancies. It is not a standard diagnostic term in itself but rather a descriptive one that requires further context to understand its clinical significance. If a doctor uses the term melléknyomás, they would typically follow up with an explanation of what specific measurement or condition they are referring to, often in conjunction with standard blood pressure readings. The purpose of such measurements would be to gather more comprehensive information about a patient's cardiovascular status.
