5. Comprensió de les lectures

The Omron HEM-4030 provides clear readings and includes a Hypertension Indicator to help you understand your results.

Indicador d'hipertensió

If your systolic or diastolic pressure falls outside the standard range, the heartbeat symbol on the display will blink when the measurement result is shown. For home blood pressure measurements, the following values can serve as a guide for high blood pressure:

• Tensió arterial sistòlica: Per sobre de 135 mmHg
• Tensió arterial diastòlica: Per sobre de 85 mmHg

Note: These criteria are specifically for home blood pressure measurement and may differ from clinical guidelines. Always consult your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Blood Pressure Guidelines (WHO/ISH)

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) provide classifications for blood pressure based on measurements taken in a sitting position in outpatient departments of hospitals. While home measurements are valuable, these guidelines offer a broader context:

Generally, normal blood pressure (normotension) is defined as less than 130 mmHg for systolic value (SBP) and less than 85 mmHg for diastolic value (DBP).

6. Health Information and Monitoring Importance

Understanding and monitoring your blood pressure is a key component of overall health management. Omron aims to empower individuals to take control of their health.

• Detection of Specific Conditions: Home monitoring can help detect conditions like:
  • Hipertensió de bata blanca: High readings in a clinical setting, but lower at home.
  • Hipertensió emmascarada: Low readings in a clinical setting, but higher at home.
