A&D TM-2430-13 instruction manual Terms Related to the Risk Management of High Blood Pressure

5-4 Terms Related to the Risk Management of High Blood Pressure

Term/Abbreviation	Description
Hyperbalic Index, HBI	High blood pressure index
Hypobalic Index	Low blood pressure index
Hyperbalic Area	Time integral of the blood pressure values
	exceeding the limits.
	24-hour blood pressure data is plotted on a
	trend bar graph and an integral is
	performed on the area exceeding the user-
	defined limits.
	Expressed as an index per day.
	Usually, the risk is managed by comparing
	the data with the HBI value of a healthy
	person according to age and sex.
Hypobalic Area	Time integral of the blood pressure values
	not reaching the limits.
	24-hour blood pressure data is plotted on a
	trend bar graph and an integral is
	performed on the area not reaching the
	user-defined limits.
	Expressed as an index per day.
	Usually, the risk is managed by comparing
	the data with the HBI value of a healthy
	person according to age and sex.
HBI-sys	The limits of the systolic blood pressure to HBI.
	Set the limits of the blood pressures during
	sleep (at night) and while awake (by day).
HBI-dia	The limits of the diastolic blood pressure to HBI.
	Set the limits of the blood pressures during
	sleep (at night) and while awake (by day).
