A member asked:

Can using an upper arm blood pressure monitor sleeve on your lower arm affect the result ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood pressure: The usual method is with a cuff over the upper arm and the stethoscope located over the brachial artery at the elbow end of the biceps muscle. It is possible to record a less accurate blood pressure in the wrist with the cuff on the forearm.
