Why the study?
Does blood pressure cuff inflation at the wrist reduce the reactive rise in blood pressure compared to cuff inflation at the upper arm in normotensive and hypertensive patients?
Does blood pressure cuff inflation at the wrist reduce the reactive rise in blood pressure compared to cuff inflation at the upper arm in normotensive and hypertensive patients?
In hypertensive patients, blood pressure measurement at the wrist causes a smaller reactive rise in blood pressure compared to measurement at the upper arm.

Wrist cuff inflation may elicit less reactive BP rise than arm in hypertensives; hypothesis-generating for measurement accuracy and site selection.
Charmoy et al. (2007) studied this question.
