INTRODUCING CARDIOCARE

Are you proactive about your heart health? CardioCare is your partner in empowering you with simple cardiovascular assessments right from the comfort of your home! Utilize our online calculators to monitor your blood pressure measurements conveniently. Blood pressure measurements play a crucial in identifying potential heart risks, especially during or after exercise or before they escalate to critical stages. 

With our online calculators, you can indirectly assess your blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure, and rate pressure product. Record all your blood pressure information, which you can share with your healthcare provider. This data can be incredibly valuable for evaluating whether your blood pressure falls within the normal range and guiding you in maintaining optimal heart health. 

What is measured? 

Blood Pressure Monitoring: Know your blood pressure, whether you're managing hypertension or simply monitoring your heart health. 

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Assessment: The MAP, serves as a vital indicator of how the cardiovascular system responds to the high demand placed on the heart, such as during or before exercise training.  

Pulse Pressure Analysis: Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressures, representing the force the heart generates each time it contracts. During exercise, pulse pressure tends to increase due to the combination of higher systolic blood pressure (resulting from the increased cardiac output) and relatively stable diastolic blood pressure. 

Rate Pressure Product (RPP) Evaluation:  Monitoring your RPP while exercising helps assess your cardiac workload during physical acitvity, checking to see if you are not overexerting yourself. This measurement is also useful in exercise stress testing to evaluate cardiovascular fitness, detect abnormalities, and guide exercise prescriptions for individuals with heart conditions or those undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. 

Don't wait for symptoms to appear—take charge of your cardiovascular health. 

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a crucial indicator of overall cardiovascular health. It is calculated as the average pressure within the arteries during a single cardiac cycle. Measuring MAP is vital as it provides insight into tissue perfusion and organ function, aiding in assessing and managing blood pressure-related conditions such as hypertension and hypotension.

To measure your MAP, you can use our MAP calculator. Record your MAP readings on the downloaded Blood Pressure form. Bring this record to your healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment of your cardiovascular health and personalized medical advice.

MAP Range:

Normal: A MAP between 70 and 100 mmHg signifies a healthy blood pressure level, indicating adequate perfusion of tissues and organs.

 Low: MAP below 70 mmHg suggests hypotension, which may lead to inadequate blood flow to vital organs, potentially causing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, or fatigue.

High: MAP above 100 mmHg indicates hypertension, a condition associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.

Pulse pressure (PP), the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, is vital to measure as it reflects the force exerted on arterial walls during each heartbeat. It provides insights into cardiovascular health and arterial stiffness and aids in assessing and managing hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions.

To measure your pulse pressure, use the MAP calculator. Record the values on the downloaded Blood Pressure Form. Share this information with your healthcare provider during your next appointment for a comprehensive evaluation of your cardiovascular health and personalized medical guidance.

PP Range:

Normal: Pulse pressure between 30 and 40 mmHg suggests healthy cardiovascular function, reflecting efficient blood flow and arterial elasticity.

Low: Pulse pressure below 30 mmHg may indicate conditions like heart failure, severe blood loss, or aortic valve stenosis, which could impair cardiac output and tissue perfusion.

High: Pulse pressure above 40 mmHg may suggest conditions like hypertension, aortic regurgitation, or stiffening of arteries, which could increase the workload on the heart and elevate cardiovascular risks.

The Rate pressure product (RPP) is a crucial cardiovascular measurement. It provides an estimate of myocardial oxygen consumption, aiding in evaluating cardiac workload and identifying individuals at risk of cardiovascular events such as angina or myocardial infarction.

You can learn your score using our online heart rate and RPP calculator. Record the values on the downloaded Blood Pressure Form. Share this information with your healthcare during appointments for a comprehensive assessment of your cardiovascular health and personalized medical advice.

RPP Range: 

 The RPP range varies depending on individual factors such as age, fitness level, and overall cardiovascular health.

Normal resting RPP falls between 7,000 and 11,000 mmHg·beats/min. While there isn't a universally agreed-upon range for high RPP, values significantly exceeding the normal range may warrant medical attention and further evaluation by a healthcare professional. Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized interpretation.
