Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, which consists of an inflatable cuff and a measurement device. The cuff is wrapped around the upper arm and inflated, restricting blood flow. As the cuff deflates, the device measures the pressure exerted on the artery walls, giving readings f...
The researchers found that the wrong cuff size can lead to a difference in blood pressure ranging anywhere from 5 to 20 mmHg.2Since there are ranges that define what normal blood pressure is versus one that's too low or too high, even being a few numbers off could have a negative effect...
Additionally, the accuracy of a blood pressure monitor can depend on factors such as cuff size and device features. Dr. Christopher Cannon, a cardiologist and editor in chief of the Harvard Heart Letter, stresses the importance of using a well-fitting cuff. He also recommends devices with a ...

Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most prominent indicators of potential cardiovascular disorders. Traditionally, BP measurement relies on inflatable cuffs, which is inconvenient and limit the acquisition of such important health-related information in g
The blood pressure cuff should not be placed over clothing; instead it should be placed directly on the skin The arm being tested should be supported or be rested on a table or arm rest The cuff being used should be the appropriate size for the patient ...
The incidence of gestational hypertension (GH) and pre-eclampsia (PE) is increasing. Use of blood pressure (BP) change patterns may improve early detection of BP abnormalities. We used Linear spline random-effects models to estimate BP patterns across pr
