Miscellaneous Assessing high blood pressure for adults The following guidelines for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age or gender) have been established by the World Health Organizati- on (WHO).
Knowledge on Blood Pressure: Your heart is just like a pump which causes the blood to circulate through all vessels. As a result, the blood pressure is the pressure on the wall of the blood vessel pressed by blood. The output of blood from the heart when it is a systole is called systolic pressure.

The blood pressure is influenced by a variety of different factors, such as bodily circumstances or a wrong operation of the monitor. Some people even get nervous when seeing a doctor and that will make their blood pres- sure rise. Single measurements can not indicate the whole blood level, so you need not to be anxious for isolated higher or lower blood pressure results.

These changes can lead to hypertension complications which are often diagnosed or treated too late. Low Blood Pressure: There are two kinds of minimum pressure: •...

Additionally, the Bi-classification LED will display the corresponding colour respective for the Systolic and the Diastolic. Example: if the systolic value is 161 (which is Stage 2 Hypertension), the LED for the Systolic (which is upper) should display red. And if the diastolic value is 89 (which is High-normal), the LED for the Diastolic (which is lo- wer) should display green.
