Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat.
When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it
brings about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pres-
sure and is the first value to be measured.
When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take in fresh blood, the pressure in the
arteries also falls. Once the arteries are relaxed, a second reading is taken – the
diastolic pressure.

The 

HGV

is a blood pressure monitor intended for measuring blood pressure

on the wrist.  The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor, which, via
a pressure sensor, measures fluctuations in pressure resulting from the in-
flation and deflation of the cuff over the artery.

MEDISANA

has had many years of experience in the field of blood pressure

measurement. The high precision of 

MEDISANA

devices has been confirmed

by clinical tests, carried out according to international standards. One strong
argument in favour of taking blood pressure at home is the fact that the
readings are taken in familiar surroundings under relaxed conditions. The most
important reading is the socalled „baseline value“, the one taken before
breakfast, directly after getting up in the morning. As far as it is possible, you
should always try to take your blood pressure at the same time and under the
same conditions each day.
This ensures comparable results and helps in detecting the first signs of high
blood pressure. If high blood pressure remains undetected, it increases the risk
of further cardiovascular diseases.
