Evaluating blood pressure data
The table at right classifies blood pressure data for adults
in accordance to the guidelines of the European Society of
Hypertension (ESH) in 2007. Data in mmHg.
The higher value is the one that determines the
evaluation. Example: a readout value between 150/85
or 120/98 mmHg indicates «Grade 1 Hypertension».
