Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat.
When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it
brings about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pres-
sure and is the first value to be measured. When the cardiac muscle relaxes to
take in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries also falls. Once the arteries are
relaxed, a second reading is taken – the diastolic pressure.
The MTX is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood pressure at
the upper arm. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor, which, via
a pressure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting from the inflation and
deflation of the cuff over the artery.
MEDISANA has had many years of experience in the field of blood pressure
measurement. The high precision of MEDISANA devices has been confirmed
by extensive clinical tests, carried out according to strict international
standards. One strong argument in favour of taking blood pressure at home is
the fact that the readings are taken in familiar surroundings under relaxed
conditions. The most important reading is the socalled „baseline value", the
