ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when
the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart
dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why measure your blood pressure?
Among the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the
most common. High blood pressure’s dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular diseases and high morbidity has made
measuring blood pressures a necessity of identifying those at risk.
Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time! You should not be over worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day. It is also influenced by the season, temperature and activities.
Classification of high blood pressure
The out-of-office blood pressure classification published by ESH/ESC in 2013 is as follows:
Note:
It is not intended to provide a basis of any type of rush
toward emergency conditions/diagnosis based on the scheme:
the scheme is meant only to discriminate between the different
levels of blood pressure.
Hypertension
Normal Blood Pressure
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)
Diast
olic blood pr
essur
e (mmHg)
CAUTION
Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if the average of your measuring results falls out of the
range. Kindly note that only a physician could tell whether your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This blood pressure monitor is equipped with an algorithm for Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Detection. During each measurement,
this algorithm records the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value is larger than or equal
to 15, this algorithm will light up the IHB symbol on the screen when displaying the measuring result.
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected d uring mea-
surement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice.
We wish to underline that the device does not replace a visit to the cardiologist, but it is useful to detect any irregularities in advance.
Why the blood pressure I get from the hospital is different from home?
The blood pressure is different even during 24 hour because of the weather, emotion, exercise etc, specially the “white coat” in
hospital which makes the results are higher than the ones at home.
If the result is the same if measuring on the right arm?
Measurements can be taken on either arm; results can however differ sometimes so it is always advisable to use the same arm.
