More than half the number of people suffering from high blood pressure are unaware of it. Today high
blood pressure is one of the main causes why people die. This Blood Pressure Monitor allows you to
measure your blood pressure at home. If your blood pressure is off limits, the monitor helps you to
keep it under constant watch. Remember only your physician can interpret your blood pressure values.
Never venture self-diagnosis or self-treatment. The blood pressure is the measure of the force which
the heart needs to pump the blood through the circulatory system and supply the vital organs of our
body. The higher the pressure, the harder the heart must work.
3.1 blood pressure values
Typical normal blood pressure as recommended by the “German League for the Control of High Blood
Pressure“:
systolic blood pressure diastolic blood pressure
hypotension less than 105 mmHg less than 60 mmHg
normalless less than 140 mmHg less than 90 mmHg
borderline 140 - 160 mmHg 90 - 95 mmHg
hypertension more than 160 mmHg over 95 mmHg
If the blood transport system is not functioning normally, the blood pressure can be higher than
normal. High blood pressure can damage vital organs, such as the heart, the brain or muscles.
