ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

WWhhaatt iiss BBlloooodd PPrreessssuurree??

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery

walls 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.

WWhhyy MMeeaassuurree YYoouurr BBlloooodd PPrreessssuurree??

Among today’s various health problems, those

associated with high blood pressure are very common.

High blood pressure dangerously correlates with

cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure

monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

and the National Institutes of Health have developed

a blood pressure standard, that identifies areas of

low- and high-risk blood pressure.

This standard, however, is a general guideline as an

individual’s blood pressure varies among different

people, age groups, etc.

Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults

For adults 18 and older who are not on medicine for high blood pressure,

are not having a short-term serious illness, and do not have other conditions,

such as diabetes and kidney disease.

To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall

into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification.

There is an exception to the above definition of high blood

pressure for people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

A blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered high

blood pressure for those individuals.

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category

Indicator to visually indicate the assumed risk level of

each reading based upon these standards. See page 21

for more information on this feature.

It is important that you consult with your physician

regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood

pressure range as well as the point at which you will be

considered at risk.

For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure,

keeping long-term records is recommended.
