Blood pressure values
Whether medical treatment is necessary
depends not only on the blood pressure,
but also on the patient’s risk profile.
Please contact your GP if one of the
values (systole, diastole) consistently
exceeds the cut-off point for high blood
pressure.
Self-measurement of blood pressure
often produces somewhat lower values
at home than at the doctor’s.
The German Hypertension League has
therefore defined lower cut-off values
for home measurements:
Home measurement:
135/85 mmHg
Measurement in the
doctor’s surgery:
140/90 mmHg
