2.4. Risk Factor Classification
In 1999 the World Health Organization (WHO) issued guidelines for the classification of the risk of a
cardiovascular event (1999 World Health Organization - International Society of Hypertension Guidelines for
the Management of Hypertension; Journal of Hypertension 1999, 17:151-183).
According to these guidelines, patients with high blood pressure are classified into four different risk
classes. Along with the blood pressure, the following risk factors are analyzed: sex, age, smoking,
cholesterol, family history of premature cardiovascular disease, diabetes.
The RM 100 device enables these factors to be entered easily using the «Risk Factor Input» button. In
conjunction with the blood pressure measurement, a risk categorization depending on the number of risk
factors, is then performed automatically by the device and displayed after the measurement.
Blood Pressure in mmHg
Risk Factors
Systolic 140 – 159 or
Systolic 160 – 179 or
Systolic > 179 or
Diastolic 90 - 99
Diastolic 100 - 109
Diastolic > 109
none
L
(Low Risk)
M
(Medium Risk)
H
(High Risk)
1 or 2
M
(Medium Risk)
M
(Medium Risk)
VH
(Very High Risk)
3 or more OR diabetes
H
(High Risk)
H

VH

NOR
(Normal) is displayed when the systolic measurements are below 140 and diastolic measurements are
below 90 mmHg. Patient should continue self-check.
Patient should consult doctor when risk category is:
