Comparison of home blood pressure monitors – advantages and disadvantages
Introduction
How to choose the best home blood pressure monitor for you and / or your loved ones? You will need a home blood pressure monitor if you decide to measure your blood pressure at home. The variety of home blood pressure monitors out there is immense, but it is crucial to be sure that the one you choose is suitable for you and accurate. You can choose from automatic blood pressure monitors, clinically validated home blood pressure and other monitors.
The best blood pressure monitors are those you position on the upper arm. Fully automatic (digital) monitors are easiest to use. Upper-arm monitors give more accurate blood pressure readings than wrist or finger monitors. The following blood pressure monitors that we are going to review for you here are all clinically validated for accuracy, which means they have been tested and provide verifiable results that can be trusted by doctors and patients alike.
The cuff size is another important issue. You must make sure you have the right one! Upper-arm blood pressure monitors are sold with cuffs that need to be wrapped around the arm. The reading will be wrong if the cuff size is wrong. You have to measure the circumference right in the middle between your shoulder and elbow. If your upper arm deviates markedly from the standard size, you will need to order the cuff separately, as most home blood pressure monitors feature a medium-sized cuff. Finally, there is the budget issue. The monitors featured and reviewed in this article are listed from lowest to highest price.
