Official title
Anatomical Determinants of Forearm and Upper Arm Oscillometric Blood Pressure Differences
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The first purpose of this study is to see how blood pressures taken at different sites, specifically the forearm, upper arm and heart vessels, are different. The second purpose is to see if body structures such as vessel size and depth, size of the arm, and amount of tissue in the arm influence differences in blood pressures taken at these sites. The third purpose is to develop a mathematical model of the waves generated by the arm arteries (brachial and radial) to predict differences in forearm and upper arm blood pressures. The results of the study may be used to design more accurate non-invasive blood pressure monitors for the forearm site.
