Self Measurement
Pulse pressure readings can be taken on a home blood pressure monitoring device. These devices display systolic and diastolic blood pressure, from which pulse pressure can be calculated, and pulse rate readings. Monitoring at home will measure true pulse and blood pressure and is helpful to a medical provider in interpreting in-office results and/or progression of disease processes.
