Blood pressure & visomat
Short answers about pulse pressure display, traffic light function and everyday life with high blood pressure.
What is the pulse pressure display?
The pulse pressure display shows how elastic the blood vessels are. Elevated pulse pressure may indicate stiffer blood vessels.
Why is pulse pressure important?
Pulse pressure can help detect vascular changes earlier and is an important indicator of cardiovascular risk.
What does the traffic light function on visomat mean?
The traffic light function classifies measured blood pressure values according to WHO guidelines. This makes it easier to recognise normal and critical values more quickly.
Is the traffic light function easy to understand?
Yes. The coloured display makes the classification of the values understandable at a glance.
What can I do myself if I have high blood pressure?
In addition to medically prescribed therapy, a healthier lifestyle, regular exercise, mindful eating and blood pressure checks at home often help.
May I drink coffee if I have high blood pressure?
Coffee can raise blood pressure. The extent varies from person to person. It is best to measure before and after drinking coffee.
Which exercise is sensible if I have high blood pressure?
Walking, cycling or light jogging are often well suited. Intense exertion should be discussed with your doctor.
Which diet is recommended for high blood pressure?
A fresh, light diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit and little salt is usually recommended. Heavily processed products and alcohol should only be consumed in moderation.
Why should I measure my blood pressure regularly at home?
Regular measurements help detect changes early and also give the doctor a better basis for treatment.
