What is a Blood Pressure Monitor?

A blood pressure (BP) monitor is a device used to measure the amount of pressure your blood exerts to get through your arteries. Knowing your BP can help you assess your risk of hypertension and other possibly chronic conditions. When measured and tracked over time its measurements offer an important blood pressure baseline that is vital in BP assessment and in the diagnosis and treatment of blood-pressure–related diseases.

What is blood pressure and why is it important to keep track of it?

The amount of pressure your blood exerts to get through your arteries is called blood pressure. When your heart pumps it pushes oxygen-rich blood out to your arteries and then delivers it to the tissues and cells of your body. This happens 60 to 100 times a minute, 24 hours a day. If your BP is too high, it can cause serious health conditions. If your BP drops too low, it could mean that your vital organs may not be receiving adequate blood supply and might cause you stroke or heart attack. The only way to know your blood pressure is by way of measuring it.

What is hypertension?

Although it is not yet recognized as a disease, hypertension is a very common cardiovascular condition that is primarily caused by changes in blood pressure. It contributes to a wide range of health issues including heart diseases and in some cases even death. It is important to check your blood pressure using a blood pressure measurement device when you feel you’re at risk or when a doctor advises you.
