High Blood Pressure (HBP) is a disorder characterized by elevated levels of pressure in blood vessels and constituted one of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and mortality. This work proposed the development of the Expert System for the Diagnosis of Secondary HBP, an innovative tool capable of providing accurate and personalized diagnoses by considering multiple factors. The system evaluated blood pressure levels to classify the degree of HBP and analyzed various clinical parameters to identify possible grounds of secondary hypertension.

Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
