Self measure blood pressure

Posted by Fleming Turner in Uncategorized

Self measure blood pressure is tested in the home or other environment to measure blood pressure, referred to as blood pressure. Has the following six big blood:

1. The difference between” white coat sustainability and hypertension. In the home blood pressure value should be no more than 135/85 MMHG.

2. Assessment of antihypertensive medication.

3. Improve patient adherence to treatment.

4. May reduce costs.

5. With the blood of the self-test time flexibility. For example, some blood pressure patients in 5 ~ 6:19-20 points or elevated blood pressure, rely on clinic accidentally, to measure blood pressure to find this part .

6. Can be regular observation. Understand the changes in the treatment of blood for medical and provide more perfect material. The specific methods with self-test blood pressure measurement basically the same dipole clinic. Can use mercury sphygmomanometer, but must training oscillometric. Generally recommend using accord with international standard BHS (upper) and the AAMI automatic or semi-automatic electronic device type. Don’t recommend using hand WanShi and refers to the type of electronic device. When, also with blood pressure readings 2 times the average record, at the same time, record measuring date, time, place and activities.

Generally speaking, blood pressure is lower clinic. At present, there is no unified normal blood pressure, recommended for normal 85mmHg 135 / reference caps.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Dynamic pressure monitoring should accord with international standard BHS (use of) and monitor the AAMI. Participants in daily life. Pressure interval 15-30 minutes, the day and night pressure as the same time interval. General monitoring for 24 hours, if only for diagnostic evaluation, can only monitoring the blood pressure. Provide 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring each day and night, the average and discrete time pressure, can more sensitive, objectively reflect the actual blood leels, blood pressure variation and blood pressure circadian rhythms, and target-organ damage and prognosis than clinic accidentally measurement is more close relationship.
