Summary

The investigators plan to determine if the sequence of blood pressure measurements from the sitting position to the table and vice versa has an impact on the measurements.

Detailed description

The investigators plan to measure blood pressure (BP) in 30 consecutive individuals presenting to the St. Elizabeth Boardman Family Health Center. The sample will include patients presenting for their scheduled appointment. Following informed consent (see attached informed consent form), the participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In group A, the sequence of BP measurements will be table position (TP) followed by recommended chair position (RCP) and then, after a 30-minutes rest, the BP will be measured again in the reverse sequence, RCP then TP. In group B, the sequence will begin with BP measurements in the RCP then TP, followed by 30-minutes rest and then measurements will be repeated in the reverse order. The assignment of participants to groups A and B will be random. The BP will be measured twice in each of the positions described above, according the the accepted standard technique, using a digital blood pressure monitor, the OMRON HEM-907 XL.
