Blood Pressure

Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching middle
age. This symptom is a result of continuous ageing of the blood
vessels. Further causes include diabetes, lack of exercise and
cholesterol (LDL) adhering to the blood vessels. Rising blood
pressure accelerates hardening of the arteries, and the body
becomes more susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction.
Definitions and Classification of blood pressure levels according to
2007 ESH-ESC Practice Guidelines for the Management of Arterial
Hypertension:
Category
Optimal < 120 mmHg
Normal 120 –129 mmHg and/or
High normal 130 –139 mmHg and/or
Grade 1 hypertension 140 –159 mmHg and/or
Grade 2 hypertension 160 –179 mmHg and/or 100 –109 mmHg
≥ 180 mmHg
Grade 3 hypertension
≥ 140 mmHg
Isolated systolic
hypertension
Isolated systolic hypertension should be graded (1, 2, 3) according
to systolic blood pressure values in the ranges indicated, provided
that diastolic values are < 90 mmHg.
