Blood Pressure Classification

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 below. (This classification is made based on the blood pressure values measured in a sitting position, in the outpatient department of hospital.)

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