Poor Reliability of Wrist Blood Pressure Self-Measurement at Home: A Population-Based Study.

The reliability of blood pressure measurement with wrist devices, which has not previously been assessed under real-life circumstances in general population, is dependent on correct positioning of the wrist device at heart level. We determined whether an error was present when blood pressure was self-measured at the wrist in 721 unselected subjects from the general population. After training, b...

Accuracy and reliability of wrist-cuff devices for self-measurement of blood pressure.

OBJECT Self-measurement of blood pressure (BP) might offer some advantages in diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation and in patient management of hypertension. Recently, wrist-cuff devices for self-measurement of BP have gained more than one-third of the world market share. In the present study, we validated wrist-cuff devices and compared the results between wrist- and arm-cuff devices. The fact...

Accurate Blood Pressure Measurement at Home

Automatic and semi-automatic bloodpressure meters are simple-to-use thus widespread in home health monitoring. However, their results are not accurate and reproducible enough, the reliability of self-assessment is not satisfactory, medical doctors have reservations for the results. The occlusion by the cuff – applied in the majority of indirect bloodpressure meters changes the biomechanical pro...
