Diseases influencing blood pressure values
Diabetes, hyperlipemia, or hypertension accelerates arterial
sclerosis, which causes dangerous disease such as cerebral
apoplexy or myocardial infarction or induces arterial stenosis
or peripheral circulatory disorder.
In these cases, the wrist and brachial blood pressure values
may differ greatly. (Even in healthy people, a difference of 20
mmHg may occur if the measuring conditions are not proper.
Therefore do not try to diagnose the measurement values by
yourself, but be sure to follow the instructions of your doctor.)
In addition, difference of wrist and brachial blood pressure val-
ues may somewhat get affected by the physiological condi-
tions at the time of measurement. However, the blood pres-
sure values measured at wrist and upper arm usually fluctuate
in the same manner.
Therefore, you can check the fluctuation tendency of blood
pressure by measuring the wrist blood pressure.
Differences between blood pressure measured at home and at the doctor's office
Normally blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when measured at the doctor's
office. This can be as much as 20 mmHg due to that you feel more relaxed at home and feel slightly
tense when visiting the doctor. To manage your blood pressure it is important to monitor and register
your blood pressure at home.
Since blood pressure is fluctuating from beat to beat and is influenced by daily activities measure-
ments can differ from measurement to measurement.
