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 mea-
sured when the heart muscle is dilated and fills again with blood.
Blood pressure values are displayed in mmHg.
So that you can understand your results more easily, a traffic-light
system is available on the left side of the Veroval
directly indicates the result, making it easier to categorise the
measured value. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the
International Society of Hypertension (ISH) have developed the follo-
wing summary for classifying blood pressure values:
