ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

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.

What is the 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:

CAUTION
Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if your measuring result falls out of the range. Please note that only a physician can tell whether your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.

Level Blood Pressure (mm Hg)| Optimal| Normal| High-normal| Mild| Moderate| Severe
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
SYS| <120| 120-129| 130-139| 140-159| 160-179| ≥180
DIA| <80| 80-84| 85-89| 90-99| 100-109| ≥110

Irregular Pulse Rate Detector
An irregular pulse rate will be detected if there is an irregular pulse rhythm while measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure. When measurements were performed, the monitor will record all pulse intervals and calculate the average. If two or more pulse intervals were recorded, and the difference between each interval and the average is larger than ±25% of the average; or if four or more pulse intervals were recorded, and the difference between each interval and the average is larger than ±15% of the average value, the irregular pulse symbol will be displayed along with measurement results.

CAUTION
The appearance of the IPR icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular pulse rate was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the irregular pulse rate detector only serves as a non-medical feature, and the results cannot be used directly for clinical judgement. Please seek medical advice from professionals before making any medical decisions.

Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?

  1. Individual blood pressure varies multiple times everyday. It is also affected by the way you tie your cuff and your measurement position, so please take the measurement under the same conditions.
  2. If the person takes medicine, the pressure will vary more.
  3. Wait at least 3 minutes for another measurement.

What you need to pay attention to when you measure your blood pressure at home:
If the cuff is tied properly. If the cuff is too tight or too loose. If the cuff is tied on the upper arm. If you feel anxious. Taking 2-3 deep breaths before beginning will be better for measuring.
Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5 minutes until you calm down.

Why do I get a different blood pressure at home compared to the hospital?
The blood pressure is different even throughout the day due to weather, emotion, exercise etc, Also, there is the “white coat” effect, which means blood pressure usually increases in clinical settings.

Is the result the same if measuring on the right arm?
It is ok for both arms, but there will be some different results for different people. We suggest you measure the same arm every time.
