Blood pressure values
Whether medical treatment is necessary
depends not only on the blood pressure,
but also on the patient's risk profile.
Please contact your GP if one of the val-
ues (systole, diastole) consistently exceeds
the cut-off point for high blood pressure.
Self-measurement of blood pressure often
produces somewhat lower values at home
than at the doctor's. The German
Hypertension League has therefore defin-
ed lower cut-off values for home measu-
rements:
Home measurement:
Measurement in the
doctor's surgery:
135/85 mmHg
140/90 mmHg
