Study finds patients often misuse wrist blood pressure monitors

Not all blood pressure monitors are created equal, it seems. New research from Italy suggests that at-home, wrist blood pressure cuffs can be inaccurate if not done exactly right, leading to false reports of elevated blood pressure at home when compared to measurements taken in a doctor’s office. The problem, it seems, may be in patient’s ability to get just the right positioning of the wrist, the researchers described in an article recently published in Hypertension Journal.
