Tilt test alters accuracy of the oscillometric device Omron HEM-705CP

Journal of Human Hypertension volume 18, pages 293–294 (2004)Cite this article

Dear Sir,

In a population of healthy young people with normal blood pressure (BP), we aimed to discover whether or not venous blood redistribution caused by a head-up tilt test affects accuracy of the Omron HEM-705CP (Osc) against the standard mercury sphygmomanometer (HgS). The research was carried out on 55 volunteers (mean age: 24±2 years). A written informed consent was obtained from all participants.
