2.Important Information on Blood Pressure and its Measurement

2.1. How does high or low blood pressure arise?

Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the

brain and adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the

nervous system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength and speed of the

heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered.

Blood vessel width is controlled by ﬁne muscles in the blood vessel walls.

Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart

activity: During the "blood ejection" (Systole) the value is highest (systolic

blood pressure value). At the end of the heart's "rest period" (Diastole)

pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value).

Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to

prevent particular diseases.

2.2. Which values are normal?

Please refer to the diagram below (Picture-01)

There are six grids in the display of device. Please refer to the picture-01-01.

Diﬀerent grids represent diﬀerent interval scales of WHO.

Blood pressure is very high if your diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg

and/or your systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, while at rest. In this

case, please consult your physician immediately. Long-term values at this

level endanger your health due to continual damage to the blood vessels in

your body. If your systolic blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg

and 159 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure values between 90

mmHg and 99 mmHg, consult your physician. Regular self-checks are

necessary. If you have blood pressure values that are too low, (i.e., systolic

values under 105 mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult

your physician. Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check

with your blood pressure monitor is recommended. You can detect possible

changes in your values early and react appropriately. If you are undergoing

medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a record of values

along with time of day and date. Show these values to your physician. Never

use the results of your measurements to independently alter the drug doses

prescribed by your physician.

Further information

• If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but exceptionally

high under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that

you are suﬀering from so-called "labile hypertension." Consult your doctor.

• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg

require immediate medical treatment.
