Blood pressure (BP) has been conveniently measured over the brachial artery using a sphygmomanometer for more than a century. However, brachial BP may not always accurately represent the corresponding pressures in the aorta .......

Although ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring provides a better guide to the management of hypertension,1–4 these devices are cumbersome and inconvenient, and therefore not widely used.HealthSTATS International (Singapore) developed wrist-bound BP measurement device (BPro), which measures BP using arterial tonometry

24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) is the important examination method to
know the true blood pressure. There are patients who can’t accept Upper arm type ABPM due to the pain or discomfort from the pressure. In recent years, wrist type ABPM (Bpro ®) that is simple ....
