Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic
Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor
EW3006.
Measuring your own blood pressure is an important way of monitoring your
health. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major health problem which
can be treated effectively once detected.
Measuring your blood pressure
between doctor visits on a regular basis in the comfort of your home, and
keeping a record of the measurements, will help you monitor any significant
changes in your blood pressure. Keeping an accurate record of your blood
pressure will help your doctor diagnose and possibly prevent any health
problems in the future.
Basics of Blood Pressure
Your
heart acts like a pump,
sending blood surging through your blood
vessels each time it contracts.
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by
blood
pumped
from the heart on the walls of blood vessels.
Systolic
pressure is the pressure exerted when the heart contracts and pumps blood
into the arteries. Diastolic pressure is the pressure exerted when the heart
expands, or relaxes. When
you or your doctor take your blood pressure,
both your systolic and diastolic pressures are measured.
If your blood
pressure measurement is 120 over 80 (120/80), for example, your systolic
pressure is 120 while your diastolic pressure is 80.
