Overview of BP Right Karo
Precise and reliable blood pressure (BP) measurement is essential for the appropriate diagnosis and management of hypertension. Home BP monitoring devices, since they are affordable and accessible, could add to our endeavors to detect and screen for the treatment of hypertension.1
However, BP measurement at home is oftentimes a challenge for patients as it requires following a range of procedures in order to be considered reliable, and it is essential to do it right since the wrong measurement has further implications on their treatment protocol.1
Considering this background, J. B. Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Ltd. initiates an awareness program to spread more information and educate people on the right steps and procedures to follow while measuring blood pressure at home.
