KEEPING ATTUNED TO YOUR BLOOD
PRESSURE LEVELS
Your blood pressure is like a constant message from your body. Monitoring your blood pressure provides you with vital feedback about your current physical condition. High blood pressure, for example, often shows no symptoms of its own, and so except for an abnormally high measurement reading. Left undetected and untreated, high blood pressure can often lead to more serious,
All of this means that daily blood pressure readings for the purpose of detecting early warning signs from our bodies are an essential part of any comprehensive personal health management program.
The CASIO Blood Pressure Monitor Watch and Base Unit make it possible for you to take quick and easy blood pressure readings at home and while you are out. Together, they provide you with essential blood pressure data throughout the day.

The Base Unit is a cuff type digital blood pressure monitor that measures your systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as your pulse rate. It is also used for setting basic data on the Watch.
Watch
This Watch measures blood pressure using a fingertip pulse wave detection system. After you use the Base Unit to measure your basic data and send it to the Watch, you can use the Watch to take readings, without applying pressure to your upper arm. Simply place your finger onto the Watch’s sensor and your blood pressure and pulse rate appear in a few moments.
The Story of Blood Pressure
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure represents the change in pressure against the interior of artery walls, which is caused by blood being sent through the circulatory system by each beat of the heart. There are actually two blood pressure values: systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.
Systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood when the heart contracts, causing artery walls to expand.
Diastolic blood pressure, on the other hand, is the pressure exerted by the blood when the heart expands, and artery walls return to their original shapes.
What causes blood pressure to change?
A variety of different factors can cause a change in blood pressure, including age, climate, emotional stress, gender, living environment, and basic diet.
•Average systolic blood pressure tends to rise with age due to natural loss of elasticity in arterial walls.
•Do not use the Base Unit if it appears to be malfunctioning, damaged, etc.
