Understanding Results

Systolic Pressure: Pressure when heart beats (top number).
Diastolic Pressure: Pressure when heart rests between beats (bottom number).
Pulse Rate: Number of heartbeats per minute.
Hypertension Indicator: Heart symbol flashes if reading exceeds 135/85 mmHg.
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol: Appears if irregular rhythm detected.
Movement Indicator: Hand symbol appears if excessive movement detected.

Note: American Heart Association categories: Normal (<120/<80), Elevated (120-129/<80), Hypertension Stage 1 (130-139/80-89), Hypertension Stage 2 (≥140/≥90).

Memory Function
