Blood Pressure Measurement
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood Pressure is a measurement of both systolic and diastolic pressure values. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart muscle contracts and forces blood into the blood vessels while diastolic pressure occurs when the heart muscle is relaxed and teh heart is refilling with blood. The measurement in mmHg provides information on how hard the heart has to work to adequately supply the body with blood.
The World Health Organisation has given the following guidelines in evaluating Blood Pressure:
Normal Blood Pressure
Systolic up to 140mmHg
Diastolic up to 90mmHg
Elevated Blood Pressure
Systolic 140 - 160mmHg
Diastolic 90 - 95mmHg
Critical Blood Pressure
Systolic over 160mmHg
Diastolic over 95mmHg
