where do you place wrist blood pressure monitor
Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors use the radial artery to measure blood pressure instead of the more commonly used brachial artery. The key is to place the monitor on your wrist properly, just above the wrist bone and then to hold your wrist up level with or above your heart. While measuring blood pressure the cuff always needs to be level with the heart for an accurate reading, this is true with arm cuffs as well.
