3. Blood pressure information
To determine your blood pressure you need to measure two values:
■ SYS – The systolic (upper) blood pressure: it is generated when the heart
contracts and the blood is pumped into the blood vessels.
■ DIA – The diastolic (lower) blood pressure: this is the pressure when the heart
is relaxed and is filling with blood again.
■ Blood pressure values are displayed in mmHg.
To better evaluate the results, there is a colour trac light system on the left side
of the Veroval
®
duo control that directly describes the results to enable easier
categorisation of the measured value. The World Health Organisation (WHO)
and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) have developed the following
summary for classifying blood pressure values:
