Effects of blood-pressure measurement by the doctor on patient's blood pressure and heart rate

TL;DR: Changes in blood pressure in 10 or 15 min periods during which a doctor repeatedly measured blood pressure by the cuff method were monitored by a continuous intra-arterial recorder and there were large differences between individuals in the peak response unrelated to age, sex, baseline blood pressure, or blood-pressure variability.
