Microtek Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor uses an oscillometric method to measure the arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The arm cuff is wrapped around the arm and automatically inflated by an air pump. The sensor of the device catches weak fluctuation of the pressure in the arm cuff produced by extension and contraction of the artery of the arm in response to each heartbeat. The amplitude of the pressure waves is measured and is displayed by a digital value. This device is easy-to-use and its accuracy will facilitate your daily blood pressure regimen.
In the 'old days, doctors took blood pressure with a large, scratchy piece of fabric that they wrapped around your upper arm. They then erratically pumped air into the fabric until you thought your arm would explode. Today, taking blood pressure is easier, faster and more comfortable with the use of Microtek blood pressure monitors. These monitors are great for checking blood pressure over an extended period of time or anywhere.
First, the basics of what a blood pressure monitor does. Blood pressure is created in the blood vessels of the body as the heart pumps blood into the circulatory system. As the heart contracts, you can measure that systolic pressure with a blood pressure cuff. Similarly, you can measure diastolic pressure, at the moment when the heart muscle relaxes. Knowing both of these pressure readings can help a doctor see whether your heartbeat is within normal ranges. The normal range for systolic pressure is around 120 to 140 beats per minute, and around 80-90 beats per minute diastolic pressure. Most people don't realize that high blood pressure doesn't usually come with built-in symptoms. And the only way to find out for certain whether you have high blood pressure is by using a blood pressure monitor.
