English term or phrase: ausculatory gap

The Auscultatory Gap
In some subjects, particularly in those with hypertension, the sounds heard over the brachial artery when the cuff pressure is high disappear as the pressure is reduced, and then reappear at some lower level. This early, temporary disappearance of sound is called the ‘auscultatory gap,’ and occurs during the latter part of Phase I and Phase II. Because this gap may extend over a range as great as 40 mm Hg, one may seriously underestimate the systolic pressure or overestimate the diastolic pressure, unless its presence is excluded by first palpating for disappearance of the radial pulse as the cuff pressure is raised.
