Blood pressure

The blood pressure consists of the values for systole and diastole and will be shown in the unit mmHg (millimeter of mercury), e.g. 120/80 mmHg.

The systole indicates the maximum blood pressure which emerges when the heart contracts and pushes the blood into the arteries. The diastole represents the heart‘s relaxed state when it‘s refilling with blood. As additional information, the frequency of the pulse rate is shown.

Based on the colour of the Vitali icon on the line chart one can see if the value is within the „green“ range, is slightly increased (yellow icon) or is obviously too high (red icon).
