What you should know (blood pressure monitor)

For your blood pressure test, please wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to your upper arms.  This test will take approximately 15 minutes to set up and explain.

We will attach a blood pressure monitor to your arm and place a recording device around your waist.  The recording monitor is the size of a small calculator and fits at your waist under your clothes.  The blood pressure cuff will inflate at half-hour intervals while on your arm during the day, and every hour during the evening.  You cannot shower or bathe while the monitor is attached to you.  This test has no side effects.
