Evaluating blood pressure data
The table on the right classifies blood pressure data for
adults in accordance to the guidelines of the European
Society of Hypertension (ESH). (Data in mmHg)
The higher value is the one that determines the
evaluation. Example: a readout value between 150/85
or 120/98 mmHg indicates «Grade 1 Hypertension».
