A healthy heart is the foremost important factor to a person leading a healthy life. Although as important as that is, blood pressure comes a close second to determine a person’s health. One of the oldest ways to determine blood pressure is using a BP machine, known as a sphygmomanometer.
From a rising mercury to a digital layout that works instantly, BP measuring instruments have come a long way. Gone are the days when a pump had to be operated to inflate the cuff to tighten the patient’s arm. The user no longer has to use a stethoscope simultaneously to determine the pulse, latest machines are capable of releasing pressure from the cuff using automated oscillometric technology.
Conventionally measured in milligrams via mercury pressure, its two numbers (x/y) denote maximum and minimum pressure where x is maximum pressure in one heartbeat and y is minimum pressure in the same heartbeat.
Today, with the flick of a switch, one can conveniently and accurately determine a patient’s blood pressure with the latest BP measuring instruments. The ideal blood pressure for a healthy body is 120/80 mmHg.
Blood pressure is regarded as an important indicator of one’s cardiovascular and circulatory system’s health. It also helps determine hypertension, which can lead to cardiovascular diseases, burnout, and fatigue. Hypertension can also affect other parts of the body like brain, kidneys, eyes, and so forth.
In order to ensure that these signs don’t go undetected, one must always check their blood pressure regularly.
Blood pressure fluctuates during the day based on factors like physical activity, stress, physical or mental trauma, etc. It is therefore advised that the patient is seated at rest when measuring blood pressure and is breathing normally.
Blood Pressure monitors have always been a mainstay in the medical sector, with hospitals and clinics always relying on accurate machines to determine a patient’s health. Today, one can choose from a variety of BP machines, differing in size and prices. Over the years, BP machines have become an important part of every first aid kit, due to their compact dimensions and accurate performance.
These monitors can be used from home, or when traveling. For many years, Omron has been manufacturing blood pressure monitors that are available online. Our range of machines have a long battery life, they measure blood pressure instantly and deliver accurate and exact results.
When it comes to checking up on your blood pressure, don’t hesitate and look out for the early signs. Find out about your health in a heartbeat with Omron Blood Pressure monitors.
