In medicine and physiology, blood pressure determination is "techniques for measuring blood pressure."[1] An elevated blood pressure may be due to hypertension. A reduced blood pressure may be due to shock.
Blood pressure determination may be inaccurate if a cuff of the wrong size is used, but home meters usually have only one size, and offices do not always substitute. A "thigh" cuff may be needed, for example, to get an accurate measurement from the upper arm of a muscular athlete or manual worker.
A systematic review by the Rational Clinical Examination has reviewed the research on blood pressure determination.[2]
Automated blood pressure determination may reduce detection of white coat hypertension.[3]
