Using a one cuff size-fits-all approach when measuring blood pressure may lead to striking inaccuracies in blood pressure measurement and diagnosis, according to preliminary research to be presented ...

Using a "regular" size arm cuff with an automated blood pressure (BP) device for all adults resulted in inaccurate BP readings regardless of arm size, but especially in individuals with larger arms, ...

Using a cuff to assess blood pressure (BP) produces results that are less consistent than those of intra-arterial assessment. The overestimation of diastolic BP and the underestimation of systolic BP ...

To ensure BP readings are accurate, there’s a need for both a wider range of cuff sizes that match patients’ mid-arm circumference and more-consistent ways of measuring that circumference ahead of ...

New blood pressure categories are helping to inform the development of more accurate measurement devices, following a discovery by Tasmanian researchers. Blood pressure subtleties are being missed by ...

Researchers developed a smartwatch that estimates blood pressure using tiny electrical signals from the wrist.

The accuracy of the oscillometric BP measurement that is the standard method of all electronic BP monitors is also affected by the cuff size and therefore two or three cuffs of different size are ...
