Even in the short term, it can fluctuate considerably which is why
repeated measurements can provide different results. If the patient
records his blood pressure over the course of the day, it can there-
fore provide valuable support for the doctor.
Blood pressure measured directly in the morning after getting up
and before breakfast when the person is at rest is described as the
fundamental blood pressure. In practice, this is very difficult to
measure.
In order to record it as precisely as possible in this environment,
however, it makes sense to carry out the monitoring at home.
The following new standard values for blood pressure have been
defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) without reference
to age:
Assessment
Optimal blood pressure
Normal blood pressure
High-normal blood pressure
Mild hypertension (level 1)
Medium hypertension (level 2) 160–179
Severe hypertension (level 3)
