Heart Surgeon Recommends '7-2-2 Rule' for Accurate Blood Pressure Monitoring

Heart surgeon Dr. Jeremy London emphasizes that a single blood pressure reading is insufficient for accurate cardiovascular assessment due to natural daily fluctuations influenced by factors like stress and activity. He recommends the '7-2-2 rule,' which involves measuring blood pressure twice daily, twice each time, over seven days, then averaging the results. This approach helps detect consistent hypertension and provides a clearer health picture than occasional readings at medical visits.
