Together with both arms together, it is more beneficial to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

A new study published on Hy-Pertension recently states that the correct measurement of blood pressure should be measured at the same time, and the higher value should be taken at the same time.

Researchers at the University of Eksete in the United Kingdom counted the blood pressure of more than 53,000 subjects (average 60 years old). Compared with the blood pressure of low -testing arm, 11.9%of the low pressureAt 140mmHg, it became higher than 140mmHg, which means that they should be diagnosed as hypertension.At the same time, this measurement method can better predict cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. About 4.6%and 3.5%of subjects should be divided into corresponding high -risk people with cardiovascular disease.So when you measure blood pressure next time, remember to measure both arms!
