Tension artérielle : généralités

Circulation sanguine

La circulation sanguine fournit le corps en oxygène. La tension artérielle correspond à la pression exercée sur les artères. La valeur de la pression systolique (valeur supérieure ou tension maxima) représente la tension artérielle résultant de la contraction du muscle cardiaque. La valeur de la pression diastolique (valeur inférieure ou tension minima) représente la tension artérielle résultant du relâchement du muscle cardiaque.

Classification des tensions artérielles

L'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et la Société internationale d'hypertension (International Society of Hypertension : ISH) ont élaboré conjointement un système de classification des tensions artérielles. Cette classification se base sur les mesures de la tension artérielle effectuées sur le patient/la patiente en position assise sur une chaise, dans le cadre d'une consultation hospitalière externe.

RX-3 specifications

The Omron RX-3 is an advanced blood pressure monitor designed to provide reliable and accurate readings for users seeking to manage their cardiovascular health effectively. This device integrates innovative technologies that enhance user experience while ensuring precise measurements.

One of the standout features of the RX-3 is its IntelliSense technology, which automatically applies the right amount of pressure to the cuff for optimal accuracy. This means users no longer have to manually inflate or over-inflate the cuff, leading to a more comfortable measurement process. The device is equipped with a large, easy-to-read LCD screen that displays results clearly, making it accessible for users of all ages.

The RX-3 also incorporates a unique averaging feature. After three consecutive measurements, the device provides an average reading, which gives users a more comprehensive view of their blood pressure trends. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals who need to monitor their levels regularly, as it reduces the impact of irregular readings caused by stress or anxiety.

In terms of design, the RX-3 is compact and portable, making it easy to use at home or on the go. It comes with a clinically validated cuff that fits a wide range of arm sizes, ensuring that all users can achieve accurate results regardless of their body type. Additionally, the device is powered by long-lasting batteries, which are both economically and environmentally friendly.

Another significant feature of the RX-3 is its memory function. The device can store multiple readings, allowing users to track their blood pressure over time. This feature is especially useful for healthcare providers who can review a patient's measurements during check-ups, providing a clear picture of their health trends.

The device is also designed with the user’s convenience in mind, including features like a one-button operation, which simplifies the measurement process, making it accessible for those who may not be tech-savvy.

In conclusion, the Omron RX-3 blood pressure monitor is a state-of-the-art device that combines advanced technologies, user-friendly design, and key features that empower individuals to maintain their cardiovascular health. Whether you are at home or traveling, the RX-3 offers a reliable solution for effective blood pressure management.
