Why the study?

Does the Microlife L-XL cuff coupled to the WatchBP Office ABI device provide accurate blood pressure measurements in patients with large arms?

Population

33 patients with large arms (arm circumference ≥32 cm, range 32-50 cm), mean age 53±17 years.

Comparison

Blood pressure measurement using the Microlife… vs Observer measurement (standard reference).
