Abstract

Diagnosis of hypertension is based on bolod pressure (BP) measurements with a sphygmomanometer. BP levels of 140/ 90 mm Hg and higher are arbitrarily considered hypertensive, where as BP levels of 139/89 mmHg or less are considered normal or pre hypertensive ⁽¹⁾. Some technical problems in BP measurements may give erroneously elevated BP levels and wrong diagnosis of hypertension. so it is great challenge to determine BP accurately.
