blood pressure screening
Arterial force measurement
Blood pressure screening is a routine medical check that measures the force of blood against artery walls.
It's typically performed with an inflatable cuff wrapped around the upper arm, yielding two numbers: systolic (pressure during heartbeats) and diastolic (pressure between beats).
Screenings help detect hypertension early, when it's most treatable: The clinic offers free blood pressure screenings on Saturdays.
