what artery is used for blood pressure
Thanks for the question. The radial artery in the wrist can be used to measure the blood pressure. But in my opinion, the brachial artery blood pressure measurement is better than radial artery for the following reasons: 1.The blood pressure at the wrist is higher for systole, lower for diastole, and about the same for mean or average pressure. The amount of difference depends on the stiffness of the arteries.ut in my opinion, the brachial artery blood pressure measurement is better than radial artery for the following reasons: 1.
