“I find that measuring blood pressure in clinical settings always gives slightly elevated readings,” he says.Īll the monitors we recommend are upper arm cuffs, which are the most similar to the physicians' style.
And Laurence Gerlis, GMC, MA, MB, MRCP, who treats patients with high blood pressure, agrees that in-office readings may be higher. One of the best things from a patient perspective that a blood pressure monitor can provide is a relaxed environment for more standard readings.
To find the best blood pressure monitors for heart-related conditions like hypertension, we tested ten models under a physician’s supervision for setup, fit, accuracy, ease of use, data display, and portability. Some monitors also offer feedback on abnormal readings or guidance on taking an accurate reading right on the screen. Whether you’re working with a doctor to monitor and lower your blood pressure or just want to know your numbers, blood pressure monitors (or sphygmomanometers) can provide a convenient way to keep track of your readings at home.
