STANDARD BLOOD PRESSURE CLASSIFICATION
The blood pressure classification published by World Health Organization
(WHO) and International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in 1999 is as follows:
IRREGULAR HEART BEAT DETECTOR
This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent function of
Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Detector. During each measurement, this
equipment records the heart beat intervals and works out the standard
deviation. If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15, this equipment
will light up the IHB symbol on the screen when displaying the measuring
result.
What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, the blood pressure
reaches its maximum value in the cycle, which is called systolic pressure.
When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure reaches its minimum value in
the cycle, which is called diastolic pressure.
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies every in one day, it is also affected by the
way you tie your cuff and the your measurement position, so please take the
measurement at the same condition.
2. The varies of the pressure is greater if the person take medicine.
3. Waiting at least 3 minutes for another measurement
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.
The attention need to pay when you measure your blood pressure at home:
If the cuff is tie properly.
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the upper arm.
If you feel anxious pressured.
You had better take deep breath 2-3 times before beginning.
Advice: adjust yourself for 4-5 minutes until you calm down.
If the result is the same if measuring on the right arm?
It is ok for both arms, but there will be some different results for different arm,
so suggest you measure the same arm every time.
