Properly put on a blood pressure upper arm cuff
The doctors preferred method of blood pressure measurement is the measurement on the upper arm. It is considered more accurate than the measurement on the wrist. There are now many upper arm blood pressure monitors for home use, which automatically perform the measurement and give all the important basic information (systole, diastole, pulse and any abnormal heart rhythm). If you want to perform the blood pressure measurement on the upper arm yourself, it is not only important that the cuff size is correct, but also that the cuff is put on correctly. This is the only way to achieve a reliable measurement.
