Digital Blood Pressure Monitors measure the force of blood pumped by the heart against artery walls. Blood pressure measurements can also provide information on the size of the artery and elasticity of the artery. The most accurate method to measure blood pressure uses a sphygmomanometer. Pressure of pumping blood causes a column of mercury to rise in the sphygmomanometer, using gravity to measure blood pressure. Today, other blood pressure monitors - both manual and automatic - are available to quickly and accurately measure blood pressure.
Our blood pressure monitors come in a variety of styles, including:
Blood pressure readings are stated as two numbers:
Systolic blood pressure- maximum arterial pressure each time the heart contracts; Diastolic blood pressure - arterial pressure when the heart is at rest.
Blood pressure is considered elevated at a systolic pressure of 140 and a diastolic pressure of 90 or 140/90. High blood pressure affects approximately 20 percent of adults and is more prevalent in men than women and in Blacks than Caucasians.
Common Causes of High Blood Pressure:
Because there are no symptoms when a person’s blood pressure is too high, it is vital that blood pressure be checked during regular intervals. Individuals who are diagnosed with high blood pressure (hypertension) must manage their condition to avoid complications that can cause heart attacks, stroke, kidney failure and even death. Home blood pressure monitors help patients manage high blood pressure by alerting them to high blood pressure readings.
