Why You Should Measure Regularly; What Are Standard Values - visomat handy IV Manual De Instrucciones

What you should know about blood pressure
3. Why you should measure regularly?
Even the time of day has an influence on
your blood pressure. During the day the
values are generally higher than during the
period of relaxation at night. One-off and
irregular measurements therefore say little
about your daily blood pressure. A reliable
assessment is possible only when measu-
rements are taken regularly. Speak to your
doctor about the results.
4. What are standard values?
The World Health Organization (WHO)
has drawn up the following overview for
assessing blood pressure values:

* mmHg = Millimetres of hydragyrum (mercury)
** It suffices for one of the values to be raised
