Heart Disease - Keys to Prevention

[saideepa]

When making decisions about your health, question what is commonly Cardio Clear 7 Review believed. There are many "urban legends" about blood pressure, such as salt intake, anti-oxidants in grape seeds and drinking alcohol every day is good for the heart. Although there might be a grain a truth to these kinds of stories, they are not necessarily completely true and are certainly misunderstood. In some of my blogs, I try to demystify these stories.

Digital blood pressure monitors are for adults.There are 2 main obvious reasons why children should not use digital BP monitors. The most important one is that it is sometimes very difficult to find a cuff that is of the correct size for a child. The second reason is much more subjective, but as important as the first. When you measure a blood pressure the cuff has to be inflated to 30 or 40 points higher than the systolic pressure and this can prove to be quite uncomfortable for children, especially infants who cannot express themselves. Often, as a result of this, they move their arm or cry or get stressed, and this negates any diagnostic value of the reading. Children should not use a digital BP monitor unless it is under the strict supervision of an adult.

Another reason why children should not use automatic blood pressure monitors is that the amplitude of the pulse waves generated by a child is very small (an infant has less than 1/2 liter of blood in his body so by definition his BP is quite low) and more often than not an oscillometric (digital) blood pressure monitor will not "hear" the first "Korotkov" sound on which the BP is calculated and will thus give an artificially low result for the blood pressure.

So what is blood pressure really.Blood pressure is the measure of the force that the blood exerts on the inside walls of your arteries. BP is expressed as a ratio (e.g. 120/80). The first number is called the systolic pressure, and is the pressure in the heart when it is beating. The second number is the diastolic pressure, and is the pressure in the heart when it is resting (between beats). BP is historically expressed in mmHg, or millimeters of mercury, even though there is no longer any mercury used in electronic devices. It is interesting to note that in most French speaking countries, BP is expressed cm/Hg, or centimeters of mercury, which means that the doctor would express your BP as 12/8 (twelve over eight) instead of 120/80.
