Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure Classification shown
in this figure.
Systolic blood pressure
(mmHg)
180
160

This classification is based on the blood pressure values measured on
people in a sitting position in outpatient departments of hospitals.
Note: There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension.
However, those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg
are assumed as hypotensive.
