ment be used within a temperature range of 50°F (10°C) to 104°F (40°C), with a relative humidity range of 15-

90% (non-condensing).

2. About Blood Pressure

A. What is Blood Pressure?

Simply put, arterial blood pressure is the force of blood exerted against the walls of the arteries. There are two components to blood

pressure - systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic, the higher pressure, occurs during contraction of the heart. Diastolic, the lower pres-

sure, occurs when the heart is at ”rest.“

Blood pressure is traditionally measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). It is recorded as systolic/diastolic. For example, a sys-

tolic of 120 and diastolic of 0 would be recorded 120/ 0.

Blood pressure is a dynamic vital sign - one that changes constantly and throughout the day. A person’s ”resting“ blood pressure is

the pressure that exists first thing in the morning while a person is still at rest and before consumption of food or drink.

B. What is a Normal Blood Pressure?

A systolic pressure of less than 120mmHg and a diastolic pressure of under 0mmHg are recognized as normal by the Joint National

Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure, 2003. However, individual blood pressure will vary.

Note: Blood pressure does increase with age,

so you must check with your doctor to find out what is “normal” for you

C. What Influences Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is influenced by many factors including age, weight, physical conditioning, past illness, time of day,

altitude, activity, and climate, to name just a few. In general, blood pressure is lower in the morning and increases

throughout the day. It is lower in warm weather, and higher in cold weather.

Physical activity can have a significant short term impact on blood pressure. Work, exercise, smoking, eating, drink-

ing - even talking, laughing, or crying will all affect a person’s blood pressure.

Your diet, including beverages containing caffeine or alcohol may all affect blood pressure. Emotional stress can have

a dramatic impact on your blood pressure.

Even repeated blood pressure measurements taken without adequate rest between readings will alter your blood

pressure as the vessels in your arm engorge with blood.

Many of these influences are only temporary or short term, though chronic (long term) exposure to some factors

may result in permanently elevated blood pressure levels.

D. Does Blood Pressure Vary?

Constantly. An individual’s blood pressure varies greatly on a daily and seasonal basis. It changes throughout one’s

lifetime. It is not uncommon for systolic pressure to vary by 40mmHg or more throughout the course of a single day!

While generally not as volatile, diastolic pressure can still vary significantly. In hypertensive individuals, variations are

even more pronounced. Normally, blood pressure is at its lowest during sleep and rises in the morning and through-

out the day. The chart below illustrates the fluctuations that could occur in a typical day.

E. What is Hypertension?

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is elevated systolic or diastolic levels. In

90 to 95 percent of the diagnosed cases, the specific causes are unknown, although the

condition is often linked with family history, and lifestyle. This is referred to as essential hy-

pertension. In the remaining cases, high blood pressure is a symptom of an underlying,

often treatable condition, which if corrected, may normalize blood pressure. This less com-

mon type is known as secondary hypertension.

Hypertension, if left untreated, may contribute to kidney disease, heart attack, stroke, or other debilitating illnesses.

The following standards for assessment of high blood pressure (without regard to age) have been established by the

Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure, 2003.

Typical Fluctuation within a day

Remember only a physician is qualified to interpret the readings

obtained from your blood pressure kit.

No attempt should ever be made at self-diagnosis or treatment.

F. Can Hypertension be Controlled?

Although essential hypertension cannot be cured, it can usually be controlled by altering lifestyle (including

diet), adopting a program of exercise, stress management and, where necessary, with medication under a doctor’s su-

pervision.

To help reduce the risk of hypertension, or keep it under control, the American Heart Association (AHA) recom-

mends the following:

• Don’t smoke • Reduce salt and fat intake

• Maintain proper weight • Exercise regularly

• Have regular physical checkups

G. Why Measure Blood Pressure at Home?

Clinical studies have shown improved detection and treatment of hypertension when regular home blood pres-

sure monitoring is done in consultation with a physician.

Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office or hospital setting may cause anxiety and lead to an elevated read-

ing - a condition referred to as ”white coat hypertension.“

Home measurements generally reduce the ”outside“ influences on blood pressure readings, and can provide a

more comprehensive and meaningful blood pressure history.

Range Systolic Diastolic Precaution

Classifications Blood Pressure Blood Pressure Measures

Normal <120 < 0 Monitor regularly

Prehypertension 120 - 139 0 - 99 Contact your physician

–– H Y P E R T E N S I O N ––

Stage 1 140 - 159 90 - 99 Contact your

(Moderate) physician Immediately

Stage 2 160+ 100+ Contact your

(Severe) physician URGENTLY

(JNC-7 report: Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure / 2003)

Important Note: While it is important to keep an accu-

rate record of your blood pressure measurements, don’t be

overly concerned by the results of any one measurement.

Individual results may be influenced by spiking of your

pressure due to diet, anxiety, or mis-measurement re-

sulting from excessive arm movement, or misappli-

cation of the cuff. Many readings taken at the same time

each day give a more comprehensive blood pressure history.

Always be sure to note the date and time when recording blood

pressure measurements.

For best results, and with time permitting, 3 successive

measurements may be taken daily. Make sure to allow

at least 5 to 10 minute intervals between measurements.

Discard any reading that appears suspect and

record the average of the remaining readings.

H. How is Blood Pressure Measured?

Health care professionals traditionally use a device known as a sphygmomanometer along with a stethoscope -essen-

tially a professional version of the very same instrument you have purchased. The sphygmomanometer is a system con-

sisting of an inflatable bladder contained within a cuff, inflation bulb with air control valve, and pressure measuring

manometer (gauge). The gauge may be mechanical or mercurial.

The cuff is wrapped around the limb and inflated to constrict blood flow to the artery. As pressure is released from the

cuff through the deflation valve, blood flow returns to the artery producing pulse beats known as Korotkoff sounds, which

are detected with the stethoscope. Systolic pressure is recorded at the onset of these sounds. Diastolic pressure is

generally recorded when the sounds disappear (when blood flow to the artery returns to normal).

I. How should I record my blood pressure?

Record by setting up a simple chart in a spiral bound notebook as shown below:

Date Time Reading

4/24 7:50AM 128/83

4/25 8:00AM 135/77

4/26 7:45AM 130/75

4/27 2:00PM 153/89

If you like you can add a column for comments about your condition at the time of measurement, or a listing of any

factors that may have influenced your readings (such as ”had a cold“, or ”just returned from vacation“).
