Check if your artery is blocked


Is your artery blocked?

A good research to find out in a simple way.

Is your artery blocked?

The right way to take blood pressure.

A simple tweak when checking blood pressure can detect a blocked artery. According to a Columbia university study after taking a systolic blood pressure reading from their patients right and left arm.

Doctor discovered that a difference of 20 to 40 mm of mercury between two arms indicated the patient had blocked arteries.

If you check your own blood pressure on both arm and find a consistent difference of more than 11 mm of mercury se your doctor---- a blockage may about be forming.
