HEM-7070-E_i-C10_main.book Page 29 Tuesday, May 22, 2012 5:08 PM

3. Using the Unit

Important:

• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the standard range, the heartbeat symbol will blink when the measurement result is displayed.

Recent research suggests that the following values can be used as a guide to high blood pressure for measurements taken at home.

Systolic Blood Pressure Above 135 mmHg

Diastolic Blood Pressure Above 85 mmHg

This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.

For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria, please refer to Chapter 9.

• Your blood pressure monitor includes an irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats can influence the results of the measurement. The irregular heartbeat algorithm automatically determines if the measurement is usable or needs to be repeated. If the measurement results are affected by irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the result is shown together with the irregular heartbeat icon. If the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown after you have taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the irregular heartbeat icon is shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.

3. Using the Unit

What is Irregular Heartbeat?

An irregular heartbeat is a heartbeat rhythm that varies by more than 25% from the average heartbeat rhythm detected while the unit is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

If such an irregular rhythm is detected more than twice during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.

What is Arrhythmia?

A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the heart to contract.

Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats, premature contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a doctor through a special examination.

Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) in the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be determined by an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.

If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it. Conducting self-diagnosis and treatment based on measurement results is dangerous. Be sure to follow the instructions of your doctor.

9. Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure

9. Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the heart's cycle.

The highest pressure in the cycle is called the

Systolic Blood Pressure

; the lowest is the

Diastolic Blood Pressure

Both pressure readings, the

Systolic

and

Diastolic

, are necessary to enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient's blood pressure.

Why is it a Good Thing to Measure Blood Pressure at Home?

Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause anxiety which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a variety of conditions affect blood pressure, a single measurement may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.

Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try and measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, to get an accurate indication of any changes in blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and increases from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the winter.

Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and measurements are written with the systolic pressure before the diastolic e.g. A blood pressure written as 140/90, is referred to as

140 over 90 mmHg.
