Maybe a related question, but how good a proxy is cuff pressure for a gold standard method that measures inside an artery? Whenever I've had BP measured for clinical studies (not focused on BP specifically) they used a mix of cuff and continuous fingertip sensors depending on the activity.
- hwillis 3y agoIt's pretty good, about +/- 5 mmHg. At worst it can bump you up/down a category- drinking a couple glasses of water can do that too, and the medical treatment would not be any different. The electric cuff machines can be over twice as variable- about 1/20 person-measurements will read off by >20 mmHg, which is a hugely important difference.
