6.4 Evaluating the results

General information about blood pressure
• Blood pressure is the force with which the bloodstream press-
es against the arterial walls. Arterial blood pressure constantly
changes in the course of a cardiac cycle.
• Blood pressure is always stated in the form of two values:
- The highest pressure is the systolic blood pressure. This
occurs when the heart muscle contracts and blood is
pumped into the blood vessels.
- The lowest pressure is the diastolic blood pressure. This
occurs when the heart muscle has completely relaxed again
and the heart is filling with blood.
• Fluctuations in blood pressure are normal. Even during re-
peat measurements, there may be considerable differences
between the measured values. One-off or irregular measure-
ments therefore do not provide reliable information about the
actual blood pressure. Reliable assessment is only possible
when you perform the measurement regularly under compa-
rable conditions.
Cardiac arrhythmia
The device can identify heart rhythm abnormalities during the
blood pressure measurement. If
urement, this indicates that an irregularity has been detected in
your pulse.
