A practical guide for measuring and interpreting blood pressure in general practice. This concise volume traces the history of blood-pressure measurement, explains the core techniques, and shows how readings inform diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of patients.
The book covers how to perform readings using palpation and auscultation, and explains how cuff size, placement, and patient condition affect results. It reviews a variety of instruments—from traditional mercurial devices to modern alternatives—and discusses how to read and interpret systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressures. It also connects readings to common conditions such as hypertension and hypotension, pregnancy-related changes, and pediatric considerations, offering guidance for routine checkups and special situations.
- Learn the essential methods and what can go wrong with readings
- Understand how cuff width and placement influence accuracy
- See how blood pressure relates to conditions like hypertension, hypotension, and pregnancy
- Get practical steps for evaluating patients across ages and situations
Ideal for clinicians who monitor cardiovascular health in daily practice, including routine examinations, risk assessments, and preoperative or preventive care.
