Upper arm blood pressure monitors

How do upper arm blood pressure monitors work?

The Heart Foundation advises to use an upper arm blood pressure monitor, because it gives a reliable result. This device measures the blood pressure via the upper arm with a special cuff. The cuff inflates and builds up pressure in the arteries. Then the pressure is released again. The sphygmomanometer measures the vibrations in the vessel wall during the closing and opening of the artery.

How do you use the blood pressure monitor correctly?

Correct use is very important with upper arm blood pressure monitors. Read the manual of the blood pressure monitor carefully. Blood pressure can vary widely throughout the day. Measure blood pressure therefore twice in the morning and twice in the evening. Keep an interval of five minutes. During the first measurement, the blood pressure may be higher. Blood pressure often drops during a period of rest.

Which blood pressure monitor is best for home use?

Upper arm blood pressure monitors provide an accurate measurement result. It is important that you adopt the right attitude. This means that you keep the legs together and let the arm rest on the table or the armrest. This is different from a wrist blood pressure monitor. With this type of blood pressure monitor, the pulse must be kept at the height of the heart. In this position it is difficult to keep the arm still, but it is important.
