Blood pressure should be measured in both hands

Blood pressure should be measured on both arms because the difference between blood pressure on the left hand and right hand indicates some health problems.

According to the scientific journal Lancet, significant differences in blood pressure in the arms indicate the risk of death and death from vascular diseases.

Although current guidelines say, blood pressure should be measured in both arms, but doctors and medical staff do not perform regularly.

The study found that if blood pressure in the left arm and right arm were different at 10mmHg, the patient had a higher risk of developing peripheral disease.

The difference at 15mgHg indicates the risk of brain-vascular disease, 70% risk of death from cardiovascular disease and 60% of the risk of death from all causes.

Peripheral vascular disease is a narrowing and hardening of the arteries, making it difficult for blood to flow down to the legs. This disease usually does not show any symptoms.
