This booklet is issued for users of Electrostimulator «ABP-051» for the
arterial blood pressure correction. Is this device unique? Half-and-half.
From the one hand, the method of non-invasive electrostimulation is not
new, it is applied quite for along time and its efficiency has been tested
and proven many times. From the other hand for the first time it was
perfected, programs of treatment were checked and completed and this
device was made multifunctional, comfortable, compact and absolutely
safe.
The content of this booklet helps to understand the principles of device's
work and use the device with maximal efficiency.
DEAR FRIENDS!

Cardiovascular system is one of the
essential systems of our body. It
cannot stop for a second. To speak
technically, the cardiovascular
system is a giant net of pipelines,
which provides organs and tissues
with oxygen and nutrients.
If you stretch the vasculature into
one line, it would be more than
hundred thousands kilometers. It
is true, that pressure is needed to
pump the blood through this
«pipeline». Life is impossible
without arterial pressure. More-
over, everyone needs to have
optimal arterial pressure for good
state — and long life.
THIS UNCERTAIN PRESSURE
2

ARTERIAL PRESSURE IS MEASURED IN MILLIMETERS OF MERCURY AND
IS EXPRESSED IN TWO FIGURES — LEVEL OF SYSTOLIC PRESSURE AND
LEVEL OF DIASTOLIC PRESSURE. THESE FIGURES ARE THE «UPPER»
AND THE «LOWER» CHARACTERISTIC OF PRESSURE.
— is the force of blood pressure
towards vascular wall during
systole, heart compression.
— is the force of blood pressure
towards vascular wall during
diastole, heart relaxation.

If the heart is the only one pump of
cardiovascular system, it is quite
logical to believe that more or less
active heart work results in rises
and drops of blood pressure be-
cause of increase or decrease of
cardiac rhythm and volume of
cardiac output.
Actually, is not true. Heart work
affects the pressure insignifi-
cantly. Vascular tone has more
effect towards pressure. Diameter
of blood vessel is not constant.
According to circumstances they
can expand or coarct. They are
fitted by unstriated muscles. Fast
changes of pressure are caused by
spasm or relaxation of these mus-
cles.
The changeability of vascular tone
is necessary for adaptation of men
to environment conditions, loads
and stress. However, when this
changeability is excessive, when
vessels change its diameter with-
out reason, it is a problem. Fortu-
nately, they can affect the vascular
tone either with drugs, or with
devices, that help to correct blood
pressure and achieve appropriate
figures.
HOW TO REGULATE THE PRESSURE?
4

In which cases the blood pressure
should be corrected? For example,
if blood pressure is low and a person
feels bad. However, first, high
blood pressure needs correction.
High blood pressure is also called
HYPERTENSION.
Hypertension, also know as high
blood pressure is the main problem
of global public health. Cardiovas-
cular diseases, which amounts
about a third of all fatal outcomes,
cause almost 17 millions of fatal
outcomes per year, hypertension
complications cause 9,4 millions of
all fatal outcomes worldwide per
year.
WHY THE HYPERTENSION IS
SO DANGEROUS?
FIRST OF ALL, THE MAIN DAN-
GER IS IN ITS COMPLICATIONS.
HIGH PRESSURE DESTROYS
THE WHOLE BODY, EVEN IF THE
FIGURES ARE NOT VERY BIG.
THE SO CALLED TARGET OR-«
GANS SUFFER FROM HIGH »
BLOOD PRESSURE.
5

Vascular spasm, caused by high
blood pressure, damages the blood
circulation in small vessels of brain
and it can lead to acute and chronic
malfunctions in future: memory
impairment, attention focusing,
sleep pattern, etc.
High blood pressure can cause
cardiac abnormalities, coronary
heart disease, that leads to heart
attack.
TARGET ORGANS OF HYPERTENSION
6

KIDNEYS VESSELS
IT IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW, THAT COMPLICATIONS CAN
PROGRESS FROM ALL FORMS OF HYPERTENSION — MILD, MODERATE
AND SEVERE.
THE SOONER THE TREATMENT IS STARTED, THE LESS IS THE
POSSIBILITY OF COMPLICATIONS. MAINTAIN THE BLOOD PRESSURE
ON AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL AND AVOID THE COMPLICATIONS.
Kidneys may suffer not only from
high blood pressure; also, they are
damaged by rapid pressure reduc-
tion. The pressure cannot be redu-
ced for more than 25% from the
initial level.
High pressure damages delicate
vascular walls. It can result in
sclerosis of small and then large
vessels, fragility of vessels and can
lead to a risk of hemorrhage.
7

They say that high pressure is
always accompanied by headache,
palpitation, ear noise or bad gene-
ral state. However, it is not true. In
truth, all these symptoms can be
caused by other reasons. What
symptoms does arterial hyperten-
sion have? Unfortunately, this di-
sease does not have any obvious
symptoms. The only way to detect
hypertension is the measurement
of blood pressure with tonometer.
If your results are 140/90 or higher
twice a year it makes the reason to
suspect hypertension and to see a
doctor.
That is why the person, who doesn't
measure his/her pressure, risks to
find out this disease in resusci-
tation, when the person would suf-
fer from severe complications —
heart attack, stroke, cardiac and
renal insufficiency, thrombosis,
etc.
WHAT ARE SIGNS OF HYPERTENSION?
8

IF YOU FEEL GOOD, WHILE THE FIGURES OF BLOOD PRESSURE ARE
HIGH — IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE HYPERTENSION.
IT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE NO SYMPTOMS AND THE DISEASE COURSES
IMPERCEPTIBLY.
«DAILY PRESSURE»
Doctors insist that the concept
«daily pressure» should be set
aside. Daily pressure means the
level of pressure when patient feels
good. There is no such a term nowa-
days. Blood pressure can below,
normal and high. If you have high
figures of blood pressure, you have
hypertension, regardless your
state.
«JUMPING PRESSURE»
Concept of «jumping pressure»
should have the special emphasis.
Doctors frequently hear the follow-
ing «I don't have hypertension,
only jumping pressure». Unfortu-
nately, precisely these patients end
up in hospital after stroke. The first
reason is since «there is no hyper-
tension», the patient does not have
any treatment. The second reason
is that abrupt change of pressure,
either rise or fall, leads to a risk of
stroke. It is strange, but the risk of
stroke is less for those patients who
have stable high blood pressure,
than for those who have unstable
pressure.
