High blood pressure or hypertension affects more people than one can possibly think. As more and more doctors recommend people to use home blood pressure monitors to keep a regular check on their blood pressure readings at home, there is a common debate regarding which type of blood pressure testing machines are better – automated or manual blood pressure readings. BP: Blood pressure; DBP: Diastolic blood pressure; SBP: Systolic blood pressure On the strength of table of ranking base on differences between the two methods of measurement, automated SBP was higher mostly in obese patient, patients admitted in CCU and ones with cardiac complaint; on the other hand, manual SBP was higher mostly in overweight patients, patients admitted in ICU and ones with neurosurgery complaints. When measured by a trained professional, following AHA recommendations for blood pressure measurement, a manual instrument will produce very accurate results. Today, home digital BP monitors are VERY accurate, but they do have limitations. Because the algorithms used to calculate blood pressure are based on a limited number of clinical observations, there are people for whom digital units simply will not work.
