Abstract
The Future Alert of Inter-Arm Blood Pressure Difference Among Young Healthy Population: A Cross-Sectional Study. (Preprint)
Highlights
Blood pressure should be measured in both arms due to differences in values between them to avoid under-diagnosis of hypertension [1]
Recent studies have shown that different blood pressure between the right and left arm leads to cardiovascular events
In 2692 of 3030 volunteers blood pressure (BP), initially recorded in the dominant hand, showing sIAD> or = 10 mmHg was found in 943 (37.1%) volunteers, and when the first measurement was done in 338 left-handed volunteers it showed sIAD> or = 10 mmHg in 112 of 338 (34.1%), P < 0.001; 95% confidence interval for systolic right hand were (115.73: 116.73), and for systolic left hand 95% confidence interval were (113.17:114.15)
Summary
Blood pressure should be measured in both arms due to differences in values between them to avoid under-diagnosis of hypertension [1]. In Hirono's study of 700 cardiovascular disease patients, 11% of patients had higher BP in the left arm than the right by approximately 5 mmHg, but in 16 % of patients the right arm BP was higher than the left by a minimum 5 mmHg, the other having IAD of less than 5% [12]. In a study by Cassidy and Jones, right arm blood pressure was higher than the left arm by approximately 4-5 mmHg [13]. The aim of the present study was to establish of an inter-arm blood pressure difference (IAD) and the dominant hands effect on the elevation blood pressure among young healthy population
