BLOOD PRESSURE

Blood pressure is the force exerted on the walls of your
blood vessels as blood flows through them.
Your heart is like a pump. When it
contracts, or beats, it sends a surge of
blood through the blood vessels and
pressure increases. This is called your
systolic pressure.
When your heart relaxes between
beats, your blood pressure decreases.
This is called your diastolic pressure.
When a doctor takes your blood pres-
sure, he or she measures both your sys-
tolic and diastolic pressures and records
them as numbers. For example, if your
blood pressure reading is 126/76 (126
over 76), your systolic pressure is 126
and your diastolic pressure is 76. The
numbers are calculated in millimetres of
mercury and recorded as 126/76 mm Hg.
These two numbers provide important information about
your health. The more difficult it is for your blood to flow
through your blood vessels, the higher both numbers will
be. When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is
called hypertension (High blood pressure).
The TensioFlash® automatically measures your systolic and
diastolic blood pressure for you, then displays the results on
easy-to-read digital panel.
