How do I evaluate my blood pressure

The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display AL points at the

value is either within the optimum (white), elevated (hatched gray) or
high (black) range. The classification corresponds to the following
ranges defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data in
mmHg.
Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure ≥135
too high
2. blood pressure 130 - 134 80 - 84

Self-check
Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
3. blood pressure <130

a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of 130/90 mmHg
indicates «blood pressure too high».

actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the
measurement.

cates when the heart rate is irregular.
