3. Blood pressure information

To determine your blood pressure you need to measure two values:
SYS – Systolic (upper) blood pressure, which is produced when the heart con-
tracts and pumps blood into the blood vessels.
DIA – Diastolic (lower) blood pressure, which is the value measured when the
heart muscle is dilated and fills again with blood.
Blood pressure values are displayed in mmHg.
So that you can more easily assess your results, a traffic-light system is available
on the left side of the Veroval
indicates the result, making it easier to categorise the measured value. The World
Health Organization (WHO) and the International Blood Pressure Society (ISH) have
developed the following summary for the classification of blood pressure values:
