Measuring blood pressure in both arms turned out to be better than just one of them . Checking in both arms could help doctors detect hidden heart disease .
Research shows that when there are differences in blood pressure in both arms is large enough , then someone who looks healthy 38 percent greater risk of having a heart attack , stroke , or other cardiovascular problems are deadly .
Merekomendaskan results of this study , these risks can be anticipated by means of an inexpensive , fast , and simple which adds to the tension of the examination . Extra examination ( on both arms ) can provide early warning and then will recommend lifestyle changes to improve heart health .
Hypertension increases the risk of stroke and heart attack up to three times . Hypertension also interfere with the kidneys, eyes , and increase the risk of dementia . Unfortunately , the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and hypertension often goes undetected or too late .
In this study researchers from Harvard Medical School USA , noting blood pressure both arms of about 3,400 respondents . Respondents are male and female over the age of 40 years .

In this study researchers from Harvard Medical School USA , noting blood pressure both arms of about 3,400 respondents . Respondents are male and female over the age of 40 years .
As a result, little difference in blood pressure right arm and left relatively normal . In the study , systolic blood pressure varies up to 5 points . Systolic blood pressure is written on the top and showed a higher rate .
But in 10 percent of the respondents , there is a difference of up to 10 points or more between the two arms . Respondents were men and women who experience these differences , 38 percent risk of suffering a fatal heart attack , stroke , or other cardiovascular problem within the next 13 years .
According to researchers , a greater pressure on one arm indicates blocked arteries lot of fat . This marks the arteries in the heart and brain are also experiencing the same obstacles . Report in the American Journal of Medicine said the obstruction increases the risk of heart attack and stroke .
Although the guide in the UK advised doctors check blood pressure in both arms , but most only take one of them . According to the British Heart Foundation , which is a big difference in blood pressure in both arms should not be underestimated .
"Even if someone does not have kardiovakuler disease risk factors , blood pressure differences are large enough to indicate the presence of an increased risk of developing the disease . Free in the UK already requires doctors take blood pressure in both arms before diagnosing hypertension . Patients should also ask your doctor or nurse check the blood pressure of both arms , especially when concerned at the risk of blood pressure or cardiovascular disease , " said senior nurse heart problems , Thembi Nkala .
