Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia dis-
orders during measurement and if necessary indicates the

This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a
condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of
defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat.

The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate
the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two dif-
ferent WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range and
.
