Which values are normal?
The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (in adults) have been
established by the National Institutes of Health JNC7, 2003.
More information
• If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but exceptionally high
under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you are
suffering from so-called "labile hypertension." Consult your doctor.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120 mmHg require
immediate medical treatment.
This device is not intended for use on children 12 years of age or younger.
Please ensure that children are supervised around this device, some parts are small
enough to be swallowed. Be aware of the risk of strangulation in case this device is
supplied with cables or tubes.
2.3. What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?
a) Consult your doctor.
b) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated with
considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are
endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (arteriosclero-
sis). A deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can result
from arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with
increased blood pressure values.
c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between
the common primary (essential) hypertension and secondary hypertension. The latter
group can be ascribed to specific organ malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for
information about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
