ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, the blood
pressure reaches its maximum value in the cycle, which is called
systolic pressure. When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure
reaches its minimum value in the cycle, which is called diastolic
pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The blood pressure classification published by World Health Organization (WHO) and International Society of Hypertension
(ISH) in 1999 is as follows:
CAUTION
Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a
