BLOOD PRESSURE DIARY

Blood pressure diary - with all the information you need.Recording of: Date - time - systole - diastole - pulse - pulse pressure - column for suspected arrhythmia - remarks.There are publications like this abound, although a lined piece of paper would be sufficient, but it can often be noted, that, in addition to the usual columns for date, time, systole (upper value) and diastole (lower value), pulse, and possibly space for short comments, a few important things are missing:In recent times, actually, for some years now, the value for the pulse pressure is becoming more and more important. It is also displayed by newer measuring devices and advertised accordingly. It can be determined by yourself by simple mental arithmetic (upper- value minus lower value), but a column for it in the records should not be missing.Better devices today also have arrhythmia detection to indicate cardiac arrhythmias. This would be an urgent case to see your doctor (if there are no measurement errors). It is, however, a mere indication that an arrhythmia it could be the case and certainly not a valid diagnosis, but it should also be possible to record it in the diary.Finally, there is a column for the location where the measurement was taken (upper arm left or right, wrist left or right). This is especially useful when using or testing multiple devices (upper arm, wrist) or trying different positions (left/right).A neutral page in the front section is reserved for everything else that you might want to enter. This is usually too individual or personal to make fixed specifications.In addition, there is some information on measurements and the meaning of values, which can also be manually completed, since there are - although limited - divergent opinions and figures published, even in the medical environment and often subject to individual factors. This supplementary information is purely informative without claim to accuracy and does by no means constitute medical advice. Only the physician and persons otherwise qualified in the medical field are the appropriate contacts, who also take into account the latest findings and developments as well as individual aspects.Paperback, approx. 14,8 x 21 cm, 96 pages, portrait format, with pages for recording in landscape format for more space.
