5.1 What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest). The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

5.2 Why measure your blood pressure?

Among the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular diseases and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressures a necessity of identifying those at risk.5 TOPCOM BPM Wrist 7500 ENGLISH

5.3 Blood pressure standard

The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program has developed a Blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard however, is a general guideline as individual's blood pressure varies among different people and different groups...etc.It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.

5.4 Blood pressure fluctuation

Blood pressure fluctuates all the time! You should not be worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels. Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day depending on circumstances (state of mind, temperature, ...) 6 Battery installation
