6. Some Useful 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 this figure.

This classification is based on the blood pressure values measured on people in a sitting position in outpatient departments of hospitals.

Note:

There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension. However, those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg are assumed as hypotensive.
