I just read an article about how taking the blood pressure reading round the ankle is a good way to predict my risk of stroke or heart attack.

Can I do this ankle blood pressure test with my own home blood pressure monitor?

What readings should I look out for?

I have a history in my family of heart attack - my father and my uncle both had one - so am always looking for things I can do to protect myself.

Is there a special knack to getting ankle blood pressure readings or do I just experiment a bit and figure it out for myself?

Thanks
