• HOW TO GET Accurate blood pressure readings :
  Measuring diastolic blood pressure is difficult in patients in whom the fifth Korotkoff sound is indistinct because of poor arterial turbulent blood flow. Try this. Have the patient lift up his or her arm and clench the fist about 10 times. This drains the blood from the forearm. Keeping the arm raised, inflate the occlusion cuff until the pressure rises above the systolic point. Now have the patient lower the arm, and take the pressure as one would normally do. This makes the fifth Korotkoff sound much more distinct. (Dr Rajiv Garg UP)
  
• Simple Test Identifies Patients at High Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death :

The Vicor point correlation dimension algorithm (PD2i) Cardiac Analyzer (CA) test is an inexpensive, noninvasive procedure that requires no active patient participation.The test is based on research that established that sudden cardiac death is caused by abnormal neurological communication between the brain and heart. By analyzing fifteen minutes of electrocardiogram (ECG) data, the PD2i CA can detect if the communication between the multiple neurologic centers that normally work in semi-coordination to control the heart rhythm are being “overly-coordinated.
