6.4 Evaluating the results
General information about blood pressure
• Blood pressure is the force with which the bloodstream
presses against the arterial walls. Arterial blood pressure
constantly changes in the course of a cardiac cycle.
• Blood pressure is always stated in the form of two values:
- The highest pressure is the systolic blood pressure.
This occurs when the heart muscle contracts and
blood is pumped into the blood vessels.
- The lowest pressure is the diastolic blood pressure.
This occurs when the heart muscle has completely re-
laxed again and the heart is filling with blood.
• Fluctuations in blood pressure are normal. Even during
repeat measurements, there may be considerable dier-
ences between the measured values. One-o or irregular
measurements therefore do not provide reliable informa-
tion about the actual blood pressure. Reliable assess-
ment is only possible when you perform the measure-
ment regularly under comparable conditions.
