Why the study?
Do wrist blood pressure-measuring devices (Omron RX and Nissei WS-310) provide accurate blood pressure readings compared to a standard mercury manometer in hypertensive outpatients?

Loading...
Wrist devices may aid diastolic BP monitoring in outpatients; leaves open systolic reliability versus mercury standards.
Do wrist blood pressure-measuring devices (Omron RX and Nissei WS-310) provide accurate blood pressure readings compared to a standard mercury manometer in hypertensive outpatients?
Wrist oscillometric devices (Omron RX and Nissei WS-310) are accurate for measuring diastolic blood pressure, but show decreased reliability for systolic blood pressure compared to standard mercury sphygmomanometers.
