3. Blood pressure information

Two values must be measured to determine blood pressure:
■ Systolic (upper) blood pressure, which is produced when the heart
contracts and pumps blood into the blood vessels.
■ Diastolic (lower) blood pressure, which is produced when the heart is
expanded and fills with blood again.

■ Blood pressure values are displayed in mmHg.
For improved assessment of the results, a traffic-light system is located
on the left side of the Veroval
making it easier to categorise the measured value. The World Health
Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH)
have developed the following outline for classifying blood pressure
values:
Systolic pressure Diastolic pressure
above 179 mmHg above 109 mmHg
160 - 179 mmHg 100 - 109 mmHg
140 - 159 mmHg 90 - 99 mmHg
130 - 139 mmHg 85 - 89 mmHg
120 - 129 mmHg 80 - 84 mmHg
up to 119 mmHg up to 79 mmHg
