Diseases such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia
accelerate hardening of the arteries. If such conditions
continue, there is an increased danger of stroke,
coronary infarction, arterial stenosis and disorders of
the peripheral blood circulation. In such cases, there
can be a large difference between blood pressure
values taken at the wrist and upper arm. (Since even
healthy persons may show a difference of 20 mmHg if
the conditions of the measurement status are not
suitable. Do not rely on the self-diagnosis or just one
measurement, and always follow the advice of a
physician.) Physiological conditions may have varying
degrees of effect, but generally blood pressure values
at the wrist and upper arm should display the same
pattern of change. Consequently, it is possible to
monitor trends in change by measuring blood pressure
at the wrist.
