2.2 What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat. When

the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it brings about a

rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure and is the first

value to be measured.

When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries

also falls. Once the arteries are relaxed, a second reading is taken – the diastolic

pressure.

2.3 How is blood pressure measured?

The MTS is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood pressure at the

upper arm. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor, which, via a pres-

sure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting from the inflation and deflation of the

cuff over the artery.
