This helps prevent the progression of hypertension and its complications, improves patient outcomes, and supports public health efforts to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease.   ### Equipment: - Use a validated, automated, oscillometric blood pressure device. - Choose a cuff with an appropriate size for the patient’s arm. Select the cuff size as recommended by its manufacturer. - Place the cuff so that the lower edge is 3cm above the elbow crease center over the brachial artery on a bare arm. ### Patient Preparation: - Seated in a quiet room for at least 5 minutes. - Avoid talking and distractions. - Back supported in chair with feet flat on the floor and their arm supported at heart level. - Avoid caffeine, exercise and smoking at least 30 minutes before measurement. ### Measurement Protocol: - Take at least two readings, one minute apart. - If there is a significant difference between the first two readings, take additional readings. - Record the average of the last two measurements. ### Blood Pressure Targets: The patient blood pressure should be \<140/90 mmHg. - **Normal:** \<120/80 mmHg - **Moderate:** 121-139/80-89 mmHg - **Elevated – Hypertension:** 140+/90+ mmHg Blood pressure should be \<130/80 mmHg for patient with diabetes. [Learn more about the blood pressure readings.](https://hypertension.ca/im-concerned-i-may-have-high-blood-pressure-what-do-i-need-to-know) ### Follow-up and Management: - If elevated, confirm the diagnosis with multiple readings over a period of time. - Consider ambulatory or home blood pressure monitoring for additional confirmation. - Lifestyle modifications are recommended for patients with elevated or high blood pressure. - Pharmacologic treatment may be initiated based on overall cardiovascular risk. These guidelines are part of the broader [Canadian Hypertension Education Program](https://hypertension.ca/resources/public/)recommendations, which are regularly updated to reflect current research and clinical practices. ### [Systolic vs. Diastolic Blood Pressure](https://medical.andonline.com/systolic-vs-diastolic-blood-pressure/?lang=ce) [Read more](https://medical.andonline.com/systolic-vs-diastolic-blood-pressure/?lang=ce) https://medical.andonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/SYS-DIA.png 700 1050 Monika Patel https://medical.andonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/AD-MedicalLogo-RGB.png Monika Patel2021-08-10 22:15:272026-09-24 20:22:10Systolic vs. Diastolic Blood Pressure ### [How to Take Your Blood Pressure at Home](https://medical.andonline.com/how-to-take-blood-pressure-at-home-2/?lang=ce) [Read more](https://medical.andonline.com/how-to-take-blood-pressure-at-home-2/?lang=ce) https://medical.andonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-Alzheimers-Blog-Post-1050-x-700-px.png 700 1050 Monika Patel https://medical.andonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/AD-MedicalLogo-RGB.png Monika Patel2021-08-03 18:10:472026-09-18 14:12:48How to Take Your Blood Pressure at Home ### [High Blood Pressure 101](https://medical.andonline.com/high-blood-pressure-101/?lang=ce) [Read more](https://medical.andonline.com/high-blood-pressure-101/?lang=ce) https://medical.andonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/High\_BP\_101\_Blog.jpg 700 1050 Monika Patel https://medical.andonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/AD-MedicalLogo-RGB.png Monika Patel2021-08-01 23:25:182026-09-24 18:33:03High Blood Pressure 101 -
