Measuring blood pressure is a routine part of every physical examination. But did you know that many blood pressure readings are inaccurate, potentially leading to misdiagnoses?
A common cause? Incorrect arm positioning.
New research from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, shows that improper arm positioning can lead to higher blood pressure readings. When the arm isn’t supported at heart level, it can overestimate blood pressure, which may result in misdiagnoses of hypertension.
The American Heart Association's latest guidelines outline steps for precise blood pressure measurements, including using the right cuff size, sitting with your back supported, feet flat on the floor, and keeping the middle of the blood pressure cuff level with your heart.
Joytech's blood pressure monitors are designed with these guidelines in mind, helping you achieve accurate readings every time.
