If
your
systolic

falls in
one
category
but
your
diastolic
pressure
in
another,
your

is
classified
in
the higher
of
the
two
categories.

:
*
WHO
does
not define
a
low blood pressure
area.
For reference purposes,
systolic
pressure readings
of less
than
90
mmHg
are considered
to indicate
low blood
pressure regardless
of
the
diastolic
pressure.
La
OMS
no
define
un
area
de

arterial.
A
modo
de referenda,
las
indicaciones
de
presion
sistolica inferiores
a
90
mmHg
son
las
consideradas para
indicar
presiones
arteriales
bajas
independientemente de
la
presion
diastolica.
