3. Blood pressure information

To determine your blood pressure you need to measure two
values:
SYS – Systolic (upper) blood pressure, which is produced when
the heart contracts and pumps blood into the blood vessels.
DIA – Diastolic (lower) blood pressure, which is the value
measured when the heart muscle is dilated and fills again
with blood.
Blood pressure values are displayed in mmHg.

So that you can more easily assess your results, a traffic-light sys-
tem is available on the left side of the Veroval
sure monitor that directly indicates the result, making it easier to
categorise the measured value. The World Health Organisation
(WHO) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) & European
Society of Hypertension (ESH) have developed the following sum-
mary for classifying blood pressure values:
Systolic pressure
above 179 mmHg and/or
160–179 mmHg and/or
140–159 mmHg and/or
130–139 mmHg and/or
120–129 mmHg and/or
up to 119 mmHg and
