Overview

Blood pressure refers to the lateral pressure exerted on the blood vessel wall per unit area when blood flows in the blood vessels. It is one of the basic vital signs of human beings. The test usually measures systemic arterial blood pressure, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Blood pressure measurement is an important item in clinical physical examination. Normal blood pressure means that the heart and blood vessels are in normal operation. The abnormality of this index can be caused by a variety of physiological or pathological factors.

WHO Blood Pressure Classification Indicator

The DBP-1318 is equipped with a classification indicator based on established guidelines from the World Health Organization. The chart below (color coded on monitor unit) indicates test results. Health Reminder
Hypertension is a dangerous disease that can affect the quality oflife. It can lead to a lot of problems including heart failure, kidney failure, and cerebral hemorrhaging. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and visiting your physician on a regular basis, hypertension and relative diseases are much easier to control when diagnosed in their early stages. Note: Do not be alarmed if an abnormal reading occurs. A better indication of an individual’s blood pressure occurs after 2-3 readings are taken at the same time each day over an extended period of time. Consult your physician if test results remain abnormal.
