ABOUT HEALTH

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood against the walls of arteries. Blood pressure is recorded in 2 ways:
  • the systolic pressure (as the heart contracts);
  • the diastolic pressure (as the heart relaxes between beats); for example blood pressure below 120 over 80 mm Hg (millimetres of mercury) is considered optimal for adults.

Blood pressure should be kept within the optimal range. High blood pressure is dangerous, because it makes the heart work too hard and can lead to serious cardiovascular diseases. In the industrialised countries one out of five adults suffers from high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Although high blood pressure usually cannot be cured, in most cases it can be prevented and controlled. Prevention is the first self-aid measure to avoid any risk. Measuring your blood pressure regularly and keeping a list of your latest measurements, can be useful for a diagnosis in case of emergency.

Three normal values of blood pressure
Normal pressure
Low pressure
High pressure

What is the optimal blood pressure?
systolic: 120 mmhg (2,32 psi or 15 kp)
diastolic: 80 mmhg (1,55 psi or 10 kp)

What brings changes to blood pressure?
  • time of day
  • atmospheric pressure and temperature of air
  • malnutrition
  • overuse of salt
  • physical activity
  • emotional condition
  • stressful situations
  • consuming alcohol and smoking
  • painful conditions
  • genetic factors
  • obesity
  • age, gender etc

These are only some of the factors affecting blood pressure!

Hypertension - “The silent killer”

Do you know that...?
  • High blood pressure is the commonest non-infectious illness in the world
  • In Europe alone, hypertension is found in over 20% adults
  • More than 50 % cases of heart infarction result from high blood pressure.
  • More than 75 % cases of all strokes are a consequence of high blood pressure.
  • Incidence of angina and myocardial infarction is four times higher  in people with hypertension than in those without.
  • Heart insufficiency is a condition six times more frequent  in people with high blood pressure than in those without.

Prevention is better…
Many are suffering from high blood pressure without even knowing it.
When they do find out, it is often too late.

Regular blood pressure control gives you reliable control and therefore prevention of many health problems. The only thing you need is a fine blood pressure monitor.
 




Blood pressure should be kept within the optimal range.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

Vital System has conceived an innovative home diagnostic device, the Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, to enable you to keep a constant check on your blood pressure anywhere, anytime. Simply place the cuff on your arm and press the start key: in a few seconds the display is showing your blood pressure and cuff inflation, deflation and air exhaust will take place automatically. The Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with the special Fuzzy Logic technology: a microcomputer which determines the ideal cuff inflation pressure related to your systolic pressure and arm size, so speed of measurement and comfort are significantly increased. Moreover, for a long-term comparative evaluation the Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor can recall your last 42 pressure and pulse data. Check your blood pressure regularly; with Zepter’s technology it is easy, quick and precise.
