General information about blood pressure
Classification of Blood Pressure by the World Health
Organization
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of
Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure Classification shown in
the Figure. (This classification is made based on the blood pressure values
measured by sitting on the chair in the outpatient department of hospital.)

The blood circulation is responsible for supplying the body with oxygen. Blood
pressure is the pressure exerted on the arteries when the blood flows through
them.
The higher blood pressure value (=systolic pressure or top value) signifies the
blood pressure produced by contraction of the heart muscle and subsequent
pumping of blood into the arterial system.
* There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension. However,
those
having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg are assumed as
hypoten
sion.
The lower blood pressure value (=diastolic pressure or lower value) represents
the blood pressure produced by the relaxation phase of the heart muscle, during
wich blood flows back into the heart.
