Nowadays there are modern devices which permit people who suffer from high blood pressure to monitor the evolution of their disease in order to offer a complete report about it to their doctors.
Nowadays there are modern devices which permit people who suffer from high blood pressure to monitor the evolution of their disease in order to offer a complete report about it to their doctors.
For example, there is a device, completely automatic, able to measure blood pressure at the wrist, which is equipped with an active display, on which you can read and interpret the cardiac activity, so that any change can be seen on it.
Blood pressure changes every second, both during a day and during a month for example. It is influenced by season changes or by the temperature of the environment. That is why it must be measured on a regular basis, and the results must be written down carefully in a personal chart.
Frequent measuring, during a day, in the usual environment of the patient is possible with the aid of electronic devices for blood pressure measuring. But even if he or she has the results of the arterial measurements, the patient must not establish himself or herself the diagnostic or to adopt a treatment. Only the doctor is allowed to interpret the readings and to prescribe medication.
If in the case of two readings the values of the blood pressure exceed normal limits, the diagnostic can be high blood pressure, with consequences upon the entire body.
High blood pressure chart:
| Category | Systolic pressure (mm Hg) | Diastolic pressure (mm Hg) |
| Optimal |
<120
|
<80
|
| Normal |
<130
|
<85
|
| Superior limit |
130 – 139
|
85 – 89
|
| HTA gr. I (light) |
140 – 159
|
90 – 99
|
| Subgroup: borderline |
140 – 149
|

|
| HTA gr. II (moderate) |
160 – 179
|
100 – 109
|
| HTA gr. III (severe) |

|
| HTA systolic isolated |
> 140
|
< 90
|
| Subgroup: borderline |
140 – 149
|
< 90

Finally, another aspect which should be taken into account, related to blood pressure reading chart is that it is a good thing for the patients to have the possibility to monitor their blood pressure evolution. It was noticed that people have a kind of fear when they enter the doctor’s cabinet and then, even if they are not aware, their blood pressure may increase temporarily confounding the doctor.
