Blood Pressure Monitors
Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the heart’s cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is named the systolic blood pressure the lowest is the diastolic blood pressure.
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings provide specific information regarding an individual's cardiovascular health. Abnormal levels of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure indicate possible risk and cause for developing more severe clinical diseases. Blood pressure can change over a short period of time both positively and negatively, which reinforces the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring to ensure optimum health.
