Quote: A Johns Hopkins Medicine-led study suggests that the way a patient positions their arm during a blood pressure (BP) check can meaningfully affect the result. Common arm positions used during screenings may make blood pressure appear higher than it actually is, potentially contributing to an incorrect diagnosis of hypertension.
Comment: I have seen these errors in the doctors offices many times.l Also, there is often a discrepancy between the old ear based Krotcoff sound based measurements and the automated Oscillometry based measurements.
