As someone who takes multiple BPs/day with a stethoscope, I find that the cuff rotation is equally as important, if not more so.

Interesting. How so? Like the velcro clasp should be at a specific area on the bicep?

Rotate the cuff laterally and it is misappropriating pressure read by the barometer. Think of the mechanics of the measurement. There’s a reason they put the little *artery here* sign at one point in the cuff.

Good to know.
