Measuring Blood Pressure Once Isn’t Enough: Heart Surgeon Explains the ‘7-2-2

A single blood pressure reading may not always provide a complete picture of your cardiovascular health.

Heart surgeon Dr. Jeremy London recommends what he calls the “7-2-2 rule” - a simple approach designed to collect multiple blood pressure readings rather than relying on a single measurement. A single BP reading may mislead; the 7-2-2 rule recommends monitoring twice daily for seven days to identify hypertension accurately. , Health, Times Now Measuring Blood Pressure Once Isn’t Enough: Heart Surgeon Explains the ‘7-2-2
