3 1. What is blood pressure? Blood pressure refers to the force or pressure exerted on the artery vessel when blood flows through them. In order to allow the blood to supply nutrition and oxygen to every organ and corner of the body, a certain level of pressure is necessary and it comes from the each time the heart beats or contracts. The heart activity is broken down into two phases called Systole and Diastole. Systolic is the pressure to send blood out into the body and Diastolic is the pressure creating the heart pulls blood back through it. Blood pressure is recorded as systolic over diastolic, as shown below. systole occurs during diastole occurs during the contraction and the relaxation and empting of the heart filling of the heart 2. What makes my blood pressure fluctuate? Blood pressure changes in response to many factors. These factors include changing in the temperature and humidity, physical exercise, restlessness due to stress, fear, anxiety, anger, food and an individual’s physical condition. 3. Classification of the blood pressure : National High Blood Pressure Education Program, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, NIH (JNC7) ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE 115/75
4 Diastolic (㎜Hg) 100 90 80 120 140 160 Systolic(㎜Hg) 4. Why do I have to check blood pressure at home? Home monitoring may help alleviate the medical phenomena ‘White Coat Hypertension’ which causes many individuals’ blood pressure to be higher when taken in a medical office setting. The elevation of it may be due to several factors, including stress, nervousness, or increased sympathetic activity associated with the clinical environment. It may cause your blood pressure to rise about 20 to 50mmHg higher than usual. When monitoring at home, you may get a truer indication of your blood pressure in a usual, relaxed state. Regular home monitoring provides you a valuable over time readings to give to your physician to determine and diagnose and also provides you the information when your blood pressure falls or rises to enable to manage your health between doctor visits. 5. What is the benefit of data transmissible blood pressure monitor? Without going to a hospital, you can get physician’s advice with data transmissible blood pressure monitor. ECHO-FT is a Home to Hospital bi-directional networking blood pressure monitor that you can transmit saved data from the device to your personal computer through interface then send your physician them. Your physician will read those to find health problems and give proper advice you. With the support of the analyzing program, ECHO-FT tracks your blood pressure changes sophisticatedly and enables you to realize the characteristics of yours Stage 2 Hypertension Stage 1 Hypertension Prehypertension Normal
5and control it. Periodically monitored and memorized readings reflect the cardiovascular state of you under conditions more representative of your normal daily life-style than those inherent in a clinical environment. It let you learn when your blood pressure falls or rises. Also it let your physician optimize the treatment program corresponding your circadian rhythm of blood pressure. Therefore, it is important to take regular daily monitoring and keep clear records. ECHO-FT is a time and cost saving healthcare networking instrument.
6 Thank you for purchasing the ECHO-FT.
