ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the pressure produced by the force of blood flowing against artery walls after the heart ejects blood into the vascular system.

Systolic and diastolic pressures Systolic pressure represents the highest pressure during heart contraction and diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure while the heart is resting.

WHO / ISH classification, Your blood pressure measurement can be compared with classification categories defined by the 1999 World Health Organization International Society of Hypertension Guidelines for Management of Hypertension for preliminary evaluation. Consult your physician for interpretation of blood pressure measurement and follow their directions.

Blood pressure fluctuation and variationHuman blood pressure fluctuates and will vary 24 hours a day. Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the measurement position, posture, and physiologic condition as well as factors such as eating, bathing, exercising, smoking, drinking alcohol, stress, mental tension, breathing, conversation, movement, temperature, or humidity change, etc.

reliable measurementsIn order to obtain reliable measurements, follow the recommendations below:

Keep taking and recording blood pressure measurements consistently at the same time every day to establish your blood pressure pattern.
Wait at least thirty minutes after eating, bathing, smoking, exercising, or ingesting caffeine or alcohol before measurement.
Remove constricting clothing or ornaments from your arm and ensure the range of cuff circumference is applicable to you.
Be seated and relax for at least five minutes in a quiet and comfortable place prior to measurement.
Wait at least five minutes between measurements, so that your blood vessels can return to the state they were in before measurement. Rest between repeated measurements.
