Best Blood Pressure Monitor Reviews and Comparisons 2023

Home blood pressure monitors could improve the lives of an estimated 103 million American adults (45.6%) who have high blood pressure.

Stage 1 hypertension has recently been set at 130/80 by the American Heart Association. That means it affects roughly 50% of men and 38% of all adult women in the US.

Unfortunately, the risk of high blood pressure only increases with age.

In a recent study, the 40-year risk for adults over the age of 45 developing hypertension was 93% for African-American, 92% for Hispanic, 86% for white, and 84% for Chinese adults.

From 2005 to 2015, the number of deaths attributable to High Blood Pressure rose 37.5%. Projections also show that by 2035, the total direct costs of High Blood Pressure could increase to an estimated $220.9 billion.

But knowing when your blood pressure is on the rise means you can start making lifestyle choices to lower it. This can help reduce the risk of developing heart disease or a stroke, and the financial burden of any associated healthcare.

What is a Blood Pressure Monitor?

A sphygmomanometer is a device that measures blood pressure, which includes blood pressure meters, blood pressure monitors, and blood pressure gauges.

An inflatable blood pressure cuff wraps around your arm or wrist, which is then filled with air to increase the pressure against your skin. As the pressure is then released, the device listens for Korotkoff sounds as an indication the blood has started to flow through the brachial artery normally again.

The pressure at which this sound occurs is known as your systolic pressure (top number). Diastolic indicates the lowest pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats (bottom number).

There are typically two types of devices for measuring blood pressure:

When you visit a medical professional, the first thing they’ll do before measuring your blood pressure is to measure your arm size. That’s because it’s important to use the correct size cuff.

So before you decide on the best blood pressure monitor for your home, we’ll take a look at the recommended guidelines for cuff size, based on arm size.
