How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display AL points at the range
within which the measured blood pressure value lies. The value is either
within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or high (red) range.
The classification corresponds to the following ranges defined by
international guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data in mmHg.
Range
Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
135
1. blood pressure
too high
2. blood pressure
130 - 134 80 - 84
elevated
3. blood pressure
<130
normal
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation. Example:
a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of 130/90 mmHg
indicates «blood pressure too high».
Appearance of the Pulse Arrhythmia (PAD)
This symbol AM indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement.
In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the symbol
appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with measure-
ments taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor. Please show
your doctor the following explanation:
