2.2 What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat. When
the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it brings about a
rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure and is the first
value to be measured.
When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries
also falls. Once the arteries are relaxed, a second reading is taken – the diastolic
pressure.
2.3 How is blood pressure measured?
The
MTP
is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood pressure at the
upper arm. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor, which, via a
pressure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting from the inflation and deflation
of the cuff over the artery.
