WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT The UA-704 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. The Irregular Heartbeat symbol will appear in the display window in the event an Irregular Heartbeat has occurred during measurement. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeat intervals during the blood pressure measurement.
What Causes Variations In Blood Pressure? An individual’ s blood pressure varies greatly from day to day and season to season. For hypersensitive individuals, these variations are even more pro- nounced. Normally, blood pressure rises during work or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep.
Please note that other risk factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) need to be taken into con- sideration and may affect these figures. Consult with your physician for an accurate assessment.
This response is commonly called “white coat hypertension.” In any case, self-measurement at home supplements your doc- tor’ s readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history. In addition, clinical studies have shown that the detection and treatment of hypertension is improved when patients both consult their physicians and monitor their own blood pressureat home.

Why are my readings different between home and at a doctor’s office? Your blood pressure readings taken in a doctor’ s office or hospital setting may be elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is known as white coat hypertension.

How Do I Record My Blood Pressure? Blood pressure readings are typically recorded with the systolic pressure writ- ten first, followed by a slash mark and the diastolic pressure. For example, 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic measurements are written as 120/80.
