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 Organization
(WHO) and the International Blood Pressure Society (ISH) have
developed the following summary for the classification of 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
