while they tend to be in a stable mood when measured at
home. It is important to understand the normal blood
pressure when you are at home.
2) If the cuff is placed in a position above the heart, the
measured blood pressure is low, so please measure in the
correct posture.
Q2. Why is the blood pressure measured at home higher
than that measured in hospitals?
1）The anti-hypertensive drugs lose the efficacy.
→Please accept the doctor's instruction.
2）The cuff is not twined correctly.
If the cuff position is wrong, no arterial signal will be caught,
and the measured blood pressure value will be higher.
→Please confirm whether the cuff position is correct.
3）The cuff is rolled too loose.
If the cuff is rolled too loose, the compression force might fail
to be transmitted to the artery, resulting that the measured
blood pressure value is higher than the actual value.
