Rationale: A pulse deficit refers to a condition where there is a difference between the radial and apical pulse rates, not a phenomenon heard during blood pressure measurement. Diastolic pressure is the point at which sounds fade away or become muffled, but the silence between sounds refers to a different concept, not the actual diastolic pressure. An auscultatory gap is the term used to describe a silent interval between the systolic and diastolic sounds during blood pressure measurement. This can lead to inaccurately low readings if not identified. A widened pulse pressure refers to a larger-than-normal difference between systolic and diastolic pressure, which is not related to the auscultatory silence.
