A member asked:

I work out and am physically fit with muscular arms. would i still obtain an accurate blood pressure reading with an arm type monitor cuff?

Normal: There would be no problems with any arm type cuff. Muscle does not interfer with compression of the artery. If the size of the arm is very large, you might need a bigger cuff, but usually that is not needed.
