Salud y presión arterial

Los casos de hipertensión aumentan con la edad. Además, la falta de ejercicio, el exceso de grasa cor- poral y los altos niveles de colesterol (LDL), que se adhiere a la parte interior de los vasos sanguíneos, reducen la elasticidad de dichos vasos. La hiperten- sión acelera la arteriosclerosis, que puede dar lugar a enfermedades graves, tales como un ataque al corazón o un infarto de miocardio. Por consiguiente, es muy importante saber si los valores de presión arterial son aceptables. La presión arterial varía cada minuto a lo largo del día. En consecuencia, resulta de vital importancia tomar mediciones periódicamente para poder identificar la presión arterial media de una persona.

Blood pressure measurement

Gracias a la medición diaria de la presión arterial, es posible detectar precozmente la presencia de una presión arterial alta y obtener el tratamiento médico adecuado.

El método oscilométrico de medición determina la pre- sión arterial mediante la medición de las fluctuaciones de presión causadas por oscilaciones del pulso.

Puesto que la presión arterial fluctúa a lo largo del día (véase el gráfico siguiente), la medición debe realizarse siempre a la misma hora del día para garantizar que las mediciones puedan compararse de forma fiable. En un consultorio médico, el nerviosismo y la ansiedad pueden
