BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

The table below contains defined levels for hypertension that
are publicly available from the American Heart Association
(AHA 2017).
Users can compare their own blood pressure readings against
these defined levels to determine if they may potentially be at
an increased risk.
This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.
Blood Pressure Category
Normal
Elevated
High Blood Pressure (hypertension) Stage 1
High Blood Pressure (hypertension) Stage 2
Hypertensive Crisis (consult your doctor immediately)
*Source: AHA 2017
Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who
normally don't have high readings. If your numbers stay above
the normal range most of the time, you may be an increased
risk and should consult your physician.
Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure
readings fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a
Risk Category Indicator that automatically compares each reading
to the defined levels and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls
into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased
risk. See page 19 for more information on this feature.
