blood pressure values fall into. If the measured values are in two
di erent categories (e.g. systolic pressure in the "high normal"
range and diastolic pressure in the "normal" range), the risk in-
dicator always indicates the higher range – "high normal" in the
example described.
Note that these default values are for general guidance only,
as individual blood pressures may vary.
Please note that self-measurement at home usually results in val-
ues lower than those recorded at a doctor's surgery. Consult your
doctor at regular intervals. Only they are able to give you personal
target values for controlled blood pressure, particularly if you are
receiving medical therapy.
