MEASUREMENT
Measurement with the Desired Systolic Pressure
Notes for accurate measurements:
☞
Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used
for the measurement on a table or other support so that the
center of the cuff will be at the same height as your heart.
☞
Relax for several minutes before measurement. If you are
excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement
will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal
blood pressure reading and the pulse reading will usually be
faster than normal.
