6.4 Evaluating the results
General information about blood pressure
• Blood pressure is the force with which the bloodstream
presses 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 val-
ues:
- 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 re-
laxed again and the heart is filling with blood.
• Fluctuations in blood pressure are normal. Even during
repeat measurements, there may be considerable differ-
ences between the measured values. One-off or irregular
measurements therefore do not provide reliable informa-
tion about the actual blood pressure. Reliable assess-
ment is only possible when you perform the measure-
ment regularly under comparable conditions.
Cardiac arrhythmia
The device can identify heart rhythm abnormalities during
the blood pressure measurement. If
the measurement, this indicates that an irregularity has been
detected in your pulse.
Repeat the measurement if
When assessing your blood pressure, only use the results
that have been recorded without any irregularities in your
pulse.
Consult your doctor if
can determine, through an examination, whether there is an
abnormality.
