If you can't imagine yourself sitting at your kitchen table manually pumping up a blood pressure cuff, don't worry. The newest crop of over-the-counter monitors are wireless, digital and easier than ever to use. Here's what you need to know before buying one.

Every time your heart beats, it pumps blood throughout your circulatory system, putting pressure on the walls of your blood vessels. Blood pressure monitors typically measure the force of this pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) using something called a sphygmomanometer.

Digital wireless blood pressure monitors will display your results on the main unit, in an accompanying smartphone app -- where you can view graphs and trends and sync the data with additional apps such as Apple Health -- or both.

The measurement is written as two numbers. The top is your systolic blood pressure (the pressure when your heart beats). The bottom is your diastolic blood pressure (the pressure between beats). A healthy blood pressure range is from 90/60 to 120/80 mmHg.

The American Heart Association (AHA) and other health organizations recommend that people with high blood pressure measure it at home, a practice known as self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring or home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM).

Blood pressure naturally rises and falls throughout the day but chronically high readings (at least 130/80 mmHg) can be a sign that your heart is strained and working too hard, a condition known as hypertension. High blood pressure often has no obvious signs or symptoms, which is why it's known as the "silent killer." Over time it can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke and heart and kidney failure.

SMBP can help rule out "white coat hypertension," in which a person's blood pressure is high in the doctor's office but normal in daily life, and masked hypertension, in which a person's blood pressure is normal in the doctor's office but elevated in daily life.

"Taking blood pressure as part of every routine office visit is, at best, not necessary, and at worst, may lead to inferences about a person's hypertension status that are incorrect," says Yale Medicine cardiologist Erica S. Spatz, MD. "Ideally we would be using home blood pressure readings to screen for and monitor hypertension. These readings are more indicative of a person's true hypertension status and better associated with the outcomes we care about, namely heart disease, stroke and kidney disease."

It can also inspire a stronger sense of responsibility for your health and better control over your situation. Research shows that adults with hypertension who monitor their blood pressure at home (with or without additional support) are more likely to successfully lower their readings compared with usual care.

But you don't have to have hypertension to benefit from using wireless blood pressure monitors. They can also detect hypotension, or chronically low blood pressure (below 90/60 mmHg, though this can vary from person to person). In some people, hypotension can cause no problems. In others, it can signify that something more serious, like heart failure or severe infection, is going on, especially if it's accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, fainting or nausea.

Whether you have high or low blood pressure, SMBP monitoring can help both you and your doctor catch issues early and track whether any medication or lifestyle interventions are working, all while cutting back on office visits.

People who are otherwise healthy but at an increased risk of developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease, such as people with a family history of early hypertension or women with a history of preeclampsia during pregnancy, can also benefit from SMBP tests. "Monitoring home blood pressure from time to time can provide an early window into elevated blood pressures, giving higher-risk people the feedback they need to avert the onset of hypertension," says Spatz.

Totally healthy? Occasional SMBP can still be helpful. "Knowing how your blood pressure responds to periods of stress or lack of sleep can provide important mind-body connections, and may motivate you to take a more holistic approach to your cardiovascular health," says Spatz.

Just one caveat: Some people are unable to get an accurate blood pressure reading using these devices because of illness, birth defects or conditions such as an irregular heartbeat, so talk to your doctor about whether SMBP is right for you.

Both the British and Irish Hypertension Society and Dabl Educational Trust websites maintain a list of validated blood-pressure monitors, including wireless upper-arm cuff oscillometric devices. You can also take your device to your doctor's office and compare its readings to those taken by your physician. (If you're buying a monitor for a senior, a pregnant person or a child, make sure it's validated for this specific use as well.)

Wireless blood pressure monitors typical range in price from approximately $30 to $100, though a higher price tag doesn't necessarily equate to higher quality. If you're willing to spend a little more for extra bells and whistles (your insurance may help you with the cost), keep an eye out for these helpful features:

"Checking your blood pressure at home should not be burdensome," says Spatz. "I recommend that patients with stable hypertension take out the cuff the week prior to their appointment and measure twice a day so we can use these measurements to guide our management. Unless we are making active changes to the treatment plan, patients can put away the cuff until the next visit."

"While monitoring blood pressure at home can be done independently with some simple guidelines about what is normal, it is still important to have a trusted doctor or nurse available to help to interpret the readings," says Spatz. "Blood pressure varies tremendously throughout the day, and there may be spikes or dips in the blood pressure which may or may not be clinically meaningful."

You don't need a prescription or a doctor recommendation to monitor your blood pressure at home. In fact, monitoring it regularly in the comfort of your own home may offer you better and more consistent insight into your health.

If you do have had high blood pressure, or you're taking medication to control it, it would be a good idea to check with your doctor to get their recommendation on which monitor you should be using. According to the American Heart Association, everyone with high blood pressure should be monitoring it at home, though it's not a replacement for your regular check ups or doctor's appointment.

The best blood pressure monitor for you will depend on your specific needs and lifestyle factors. Some cuffs are better suited for larger arms, for example, while you may find it easier to share results with your doctor with another monitor. There is also some variety in cost.

Your blood pressure can be tipped slightly by a lot of factors, so to get an accurate reading you need to control for things like posture, how recently you've eaten or drank coffee and how still you're sitting.

Not that "cool-looking" should be your priority when shopping for a blood pressure machine, but it certainly makes home monitoring feel like less of a chore than it otherwise might be when you're working on preventing hypertension or managing heart disease. But on to the things that actually matter...

Prepare yourself for a slew of great stuff: This cuff is comfortable. The cuff size was a fit for a (kind of lanky) arm, with no gaps between the skin and the fabric. The readings were consistent and accurate, and the setup was almost unbelievably easy. This thing was out of the box, on the arm and connected to a phone in about 2 minutes, and the first blood pressure reading was done about 30 seconds after that. 

Your whole family can use it, too: This digital blood pressure monitor pairs wirelessly with up to eight phones or tablets at any given time (let's see a manual blood pressure monitor do that!). Each time you use the digital monitor, the QardioArm averages three readings; monitors and detects an irregular heartbeat; and stores all your measurements and notes in Qardio's HIPAA-compliant cloud. 

The Omron Complete Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor with EKG was the first FDA-approved combination EKG-blood pressure device in the US. Omron produced the product in partnership with AliveCor, which powers many FDA-approved consumer electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) devices.  2351a5e196
