The most accurate way to measure blood pressure is to use an artery closest to the heart. The radial artery is far weaker, and less audible making it a less popular area of the body to assess blood pressure. For medical purposes, the brachial artery is considered the most noninvasive artery to access when measuring blood pressure. Its no wonder that medical professionals dont constrict the carotid arteries to measure blood pressure.

Do the radial artery carries blood to the forearm?

No, the radial artery does not carry blood to the forearm; it primarily supplies blood to the hand and wrist. The forearm receives blood from both the radial and ulnar arteries, which branch off from the brachial artery. The radial artery runs along the lateral side of the forearm, while the ulnar artery runs along the medial side. Together, they ensure adequate blood supply to the forearm and hand.
