To determine the accuracy of the large-extra large-sized (L-XL) cuff (32-52 cm) coupled to a Microlife WatchBP Office ABI blood pressure measuring device tested according to the requirements of the International Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension. The L-XL cuff tested in this study is designed to provide accurate blood pressure measurements in patients with large arms (arm circumference≥32 cm) over a wide range of arm circumferences using a single 145±1×320±1 mm bladder. The evaluation was made in 33 patients with amean±standard deviation age of 53±17 years (range:30-96 years). Their systolic blood pressure (SBP)was 142±21 mmHg (range: 110-180 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was 87±14 mmHg (range:62-106 mmHg) and arm circumference was 36±5 cm (range: 32-50 cm). Blood pressure measurements were made in the sitting position. The L-XLcuff coupled to the WatchBP Office ABIpassed all three phases of the European Society of Hypertension protocol for SBP and DBP. Mean blood pressure differences between device and observer were -1.3±5.1 mmHg for SBP and -1.8±5.8 mmHg for DBP. Similar device-observer differences were observed in patients divided into two subgroups according to whethertheir arm circumference was above or below themedian in the group. These results indicate that the L-XL cuff coupled to the WatchBP Office ABI monitor providesaccurate blood pressure readings in patients withlarge arms over a wide range of arm circumferences. |
