Today is Medical Monday at Aortic Hope.


♥ Taking your blood pressure is a topic that is discussed often. This discussion includes the How, When, Where, Why and with What to take your blood pressure.


👉 In this article from The Mayo Clinic entitled, "Get the Most Out of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring", the following information was shared:

"Checking blood pressure at home is an important part of managing high blood pressure (hypertension).


The American Heart Association (AHA) and other organizations recommend that people with high blood pressure monitor their blood pressure at home. Regularly checking blood pressure at home helps your care providers determine if treatment is working.

Home blood pressure monitors are available widely and without a prescription. But it's important to know how to find a good home blood pressure monitor and to use it correctly."
