Resting Blood
Pressure Measurement Procedure |
|
NOTE: These are
guidelines to obtain blood pressure results that can be used to
Classify, Diagnose and Treat Hypertension or high blood pressure. If
you can not follow these guidelines, take you BP anyway and
record a comment for your MD.
NOTE: Since the
artery in your left arm is closer to your heart, it is always best
to use your left wrist to measure BP. However, your right
wrist
can also be used.
NOTE: If the
BP cuff does not properly fit your arm, your results may be
incorrect.
Unless instructed by
your MD,
DO NOT
use a combination of
left and right wrists when measuring BP because there may be
pressure differences between arms.

Resting
is Important |
Blood Pressure
can
change instantly in response to our physical & mental activities.
If Resting
Procedures
are not followed, your BP will likely be elevated from your
Resting Baseline.
Hypertension is
Diagnosed
by averaging a minimum of 5 measurement results across several days
in an attempt to obtain your Resting Baseline
Therefore,
Resting BP Procedures are essential in obtaining BP accuracy.
Blood Pressure
taken by a nurse or MD in the Doctor's Office is only a screening
test ... they DO NOT have the time to use Resting Procedures.
Sad, but true!
