Blood Pressure Indicator Classifications; Variations In Blood Pressure - Inovalley 0098-N Mode D'emploi

A. Blood pressure indicator classifications
Standards for assessment
of high or low blood
pressure without regard to
age, have been established
by the World Health
Organization (W.H.O), as
shown in the chart.
B. Variations in blood pressure
Individual blood pressures vary greatly both on a daily and a
seasonal basis. These variations are even more pronounced in
hypertense patients.
(Hypertense: means a person who has high blood pressure
symptom.)
Normally the blood pressure rises while at work and is at its lowest
during sleeping period.
The graph below illustrated the variations in blood pressure over a
whole day with measurement taken every five minutes.
(The thick line represents
sleep. The rise in blood
pressure at 4 PM <A in the
graph> and 12 PM <B in the
graph> correspond to an
attack of pain.)
