The blood pressure monitor allows you to obtain information on both systolic (also known as maximum pressure) and diastolic (better known as minimum pressure) blood pressure.
The different types of pressure gauges currently available on the market can be divided, according to their operation, into: manual and analog gauges and electronic and automatic gauges. The first group includes all pressure gauges whose operation is manual and requires a certain amount of knowledge on the part of the operator who performs the pressure determination; the second group, on the other hand, includes electronic pressure gauges that detect blood pressure values. in a completely automated way.
The choice to buy a certain type of meter rather than another depends on many factors, such as ease of use, the knowledge of the operator who will perform the measurements and the needs of each individual. Of course, the cost can also greatly affect the choice of blood pressure monitor to buy.
) than minimum (diastolic pressure).

Not surprisingly, arterial blood pressure is considered as an extremely important vital parameter.
