2-5. Stress Mode
This mode is used to measure blood pressure immediately after the heart is subjected to a set
exercise load on a treadmill or similar device. After exercise is finished, the ECG and blood
pressure gradually return to the rest state. By measuring this process (recovery), abnormalities
can be discovered that would not be apparent when the patient is at rest.
Starting and Ending Stress Test
1. Perform basic measurement with the patient in the rest state.
Refer to "Starting and Ending Measurement" (page 51)
steps 1 to 3.
2. Remove the ankle cuffs, ECG clips, and PCG
sensor from the patient.
Disconnect the arm cuff from the cuff hose and leave
the cuff on the patient.
3. Press the [STRESS MODE] button.
4. To change the measurement sites, press the
[MODIFY] button.
If you do not need to change the measurement sites, go
to step 6.
Notes:
• The amount of exercise that the patient performs must be determined in consultation with a
doctor. While the patient exercises, always pay close attention to the patient's condition.
• When applying an exercise load to a patient with heart disease, a doctor must be present and
sufficient emergency measures must be prepared.
• Perform stress test immediately after application of the exercise load. Measurement is not
possible after 60 minutes have elapsed.
• Measurement is normally performed at the same parts as basic measurement.
