5.4 Resting indicator measurement (using HSD

diagnostics)

The most frequent error made when measuring blood pressure

is taking the measurement when not at rest (haemodynamic

stability), which means that both the systolic and the diastolic

blood pressures are incorrect in this case. During blood pres-

sure measurement, the device automatically determines

whether the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest or not.

If there is no indication that the circulatory system is not

sufficiently at rest,

(haemodynamic stability) is displayed

and the measurement can be recorded as a reliable resting

blood pressure value.

: haemodynamic stability

Measurement of the systolic and diastolic pressure is in-

creased when the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest

and is a very reliable indicator of resting blood pressure.

However, if the circulatory system is not sufficiently at rest

(haemodynamic instability), the symbol

is displayed.

In this case, the measurement should be repeated after

a period of physical and mental rest. The blood pressure

measurement must be taken when the patient is physically

and mentally rested, as it will be the basis for a diagnosis

and regulation of the patient’s medical treatment.

: lack of haemodynamic stability

It is very probable that the measurement of systolic and di-

astolic blood pressure has not been carried out at rest and

has therefore distorted the measurement.

Repeat the measurement after a rest and relaxation period

of at least 5 minutes. Go to a sufficiently calm and comfort-

able spot and remain there calmly; close your eyes, breathe

deeply and evenly and try to relax.

If the following measurement shows a lack of stability again,

repeat the measurement after another period of rest. In case

of further unstable measurements, identify these measure-

ments as they were taken when the circulatory system had

not be sufficiently rested.

In this case, inner unrest of the nervous system could be the

cause, which cannot be cured by brief periods of rest. Devel-

oping cardiac arrhythmia can also prevent stable blood pres-

sure measurements.

A lack of resting blood pressure can have various causes,

such as physical or mental strain or distraction and speak-

ing or experiencing heart rhythmic disturbance during the

measurement.

In an overwhelming number of cases, the HSD diagnosis

will give a very good guide as to whether the circulatory

system is rested when taking the measurement. Certain

patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmia or chronic mental

conditions can remain haemodynamically unstable in the

long-term, something which persists even after repeated
