The pressure difference is the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure, which is considered as two numbers for the blood pressure index (such as 120/80). The upper number (the larger of the two values) is the systolic blood pressure, which represents the pressure of the blood transported in the arteries during contraction (a heartbeat). The lower number (the smaller of the two values) is the diastolic blood pressure, representing the blood pressure transported in the arteries during contraction (mid-heart rate). These measurements can help show if you are at risk for heart disease or coronary events such as stroke. The pressure difference was determined from two values ​​(systolic and diastolic blood pressure) measured during blood transport. It is the difference between the top number and the lower number of blood pressure.

Steps

Part 1 of 2: Blood pressure measurement

1. 

   
   
   Blood pressure. You can take a traditional blood pressure measurement with a cuff and stethoscope similar to a blood pressure monitor, but determining the correct value requires guidance, practice and experience. Some people often go to medical centers to have their blood pressure checked with an automatic blood pressure monitor.
   • When buying a home blood pressure monitor, choose something that's affordable and has a bandage (an armband) that fits your arm for easier use. Many insurance policies will assist you in purchasing your blood pressure monitor. Most of them are automatic measuring machines. You just need to put the bandage on your hand, press start and wait for the result.
   • Avoid sugar, caffeine or excessive stress before taking your blood pressure. These three will increase blood pressure and will lead to incorrect measurements.
   • If you take your own blood pressure at home, take it three times to make sure it is correct. When measuring, you must sit comfortably, relaxed, with your arms at the same level as your heart. If you notice that your measurements are different from time to time, take a short break between measurements.
   • It is important to note that most blood pressure monitors need to be calibrated. To find out if your measuring device is correct, visit the clinic once a year and compare the results with your blood pressure monitor.

2. 

   
   
   Keep a record of the systolic and diastolic numbers. If 110/68 is your blood pressure reading, take a note or write it down somewhere. It is a good idea to keep these numbers so you can monitor for changes in blood pressure yourself.
   • Keep an eye on the blood pressure index continuously at different times of the day because blood pressure can change continuously (done within 2 to 3 weeks for the most accurate result) and average the indexes. there.

3. 

   
   
   The differential pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic readings. For example, subtracting 68 from 110, this would be 42. Advertising

Part 2 of 2: Analysis of results

1. 

   Determine if your voltage is within a safe threshold. Each person of different age and gender, the effect will be more or less different, so the world health has researched and gave a baseline measure.
   • A pressure difference of 40 mmHg is considered normal, between 40 and 60 being a relatively healthy range.

2. 

   See a doctor if the pressure is above 60 mmHg. If the pressure level exceeds 60, you are in danger of having cardiovascular risks such as high blood pressure, stroke, ... High pressure means the heart valves are not working properly to prevent them. blood flow backwards and the heart cannot efficiently pump blood (reflux valves). However, it is important not to self-diagnose. Call your doctor to ask about your results what it means.
   • Voltage levels above 60 mmHgA in one go can not be of great concern. However, if this continues for more than a few weeks, you will need to contact your doctor to schedule an appointment.
   • Frequent emotions and physical stress are responsible for the high blood pressure. Mental stress can also increase pressure.

3. 

   See a doctor if the pressure is less than 40 mmHg. A pressure below 40 is a sign of poor heart function. This condition occurs due to a number of causes, including aortic reflux, heart failure, kidney failure, diabetes, and low sodium plasma levels. You will need to talk to your doctor for a diagnosis, so call to schedule an appointment.
   • As above, this result is only worrying if it is the tendency to repeat, not just in one measurement.
   • Do not try to interpret or diagnose yourself. If your pressure is usually less than 40 mmHg, you need to ask your doctor for further explanation.

Advice

• Pressure is merely an indicator of possible problems with the heart and cardiovascular system. While it does not directly signal any specific disease, many studies have shown that it does show risk factors and needs more examination.
