A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is the force exerted
on the walls of your blood vessels
as blood flows through them.
-5- -6-
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 pressure,
he or she measures both your systolic and
diastolic pressures and records them as
numbers. For example, if your blood
pressure reading is 126/76 (126 over 76),
your systolic is 126 and your diastolic 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).
Our new Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
automatically measures your systolic and diastolic blood
pressure for you, then displays the results on easy-to-read
digital panel!
