Hypertension ClassiÞ cation Indicator The measured blood pressure value is displayed according to the WHO standards. See page 2) SYSTOLIC (mmHg) Grade 3 Hypertension (severe) Grade 2 Hypertension (moderate) Grade 1 Hypertension (mild) High-Normal Normal Optimal 90 100 DIASTOLIC (mmHg) TIPS FOR OBTAINING ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS Your blood pressure varies according to your posture, the time of day and a range of other factors.
