The C.P.G. indicator can be displayed at the beginning of measurement and is included
in data stored in the memory. Adjust and keep the angle during measurement.
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the
heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of
mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured
first thing in the morning while one is still at rest and before eating.
What is Hypertension and How is it Controlled?
Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended can cause many health problems
including stroke and heart attack. Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with
medication under a doctor's supervision.
To prevent hypertension or keep it under control:
Do not smoke
Reduce salt and fat intake
Maintain proper weight
Why Measure Blood Pressure at Home?
Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension and can produce an elevated
reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher than that measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of outside
influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's readings and provides a more accurate, complete
blood pressure history.
