Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / October 2004Wrist blood ppressure meters
Any user experience with wrist blood pressure meters, say like the Omron type? The Omron ones are very good. They are surprisingly accurate. Thanks, Mike > Any user experience with wrist blood pressure meters, say like the Omron > type? > The Omron ones are very good.

I have used mine during exercise and it gets confused and the readings are way off.... After exercise seems to be accurate, based on my comparisons with a manual cuff, but don't quote me on that. The automatic cuffs are not made to be used other than the strict "standard" blood pressure. They will also be generally way off with standing blood pressure as well.

Yes Mike, was only thinking of wearing the device during exercise (fast walking) and then after stopping the routine checking the blood pressure. Doing this periodically (every week?). Wanted to see after a time if there was any training effect to the exercise. I like the HEM 637 that senses the wrist position to the heart level automatically.

With exercise, the heart beats so hard, and if your muscles are shakey, the cuff gets confused. AHlf the time, you get an error.
