It includes a sensor strapped to the wrist which can measure the pressure in the aorta, the main artery close to the heart, where high blood pressure does most damage. A sensor in the watch records the pulse wave of the artery, which is then fed into a computer together with a traditional blood pressure reading from a cuff. In most people the pressure in the aorta is 10mm Hg lower than in the arm, but in some, especially younger people, it is as much as 30mm Hg lower.
â¢ Measure your blood pressure in both arms the first time you use a monitor. Use the arm with the highest reading to take future readings. â¢ Wait for at least 30 minutes after drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercise before you take a reading. record your readings â¢ Take your blood pressure twice a day for seven days. Look at the numbers below to find your cuff size (the wrong cuff size can increase your blood pressure numbers.) measure this way â¢ Rest for at least 5 minutes before you take a reading. â¢ Sit with your legs uncrossed, your back supported and your feet on the floor.
