General information about blood pressure  
Blood circulation  
The blood circulation is responsible for supplying the  
body with oxygen. Blood pressure is the pressure  
exerted on the arteries.  
Systolic blood pressure  
(mmHg)  
The systolic blood pressure value (higher pressure  
or top value) represents the blood pressure  
produced by contraction of the heart muscle.  
Severe hypertension  
Moderate hypertension  
Mild hypertension  
Normal systolic value  
180  
160  
140  
130

The diastolic blood pressure value (lower pressure  
or lower value) represents the blood pressure  
produced by relaxation of the heart muscle.

Classification of blood pressure

pressure  
The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the  
International Society of Hypertension (ISH)  
developed the blood pressure classification. This  
classification is based on the blood pressure values  
measured while sitting on a chair in the outpatient  
department of a hospital.

Health and blood pressure  
• Stress and emotional upset  
• Excessive consumption of salt  
• Lack of physical exercise  
The incidence of hypertension increases with age. In  
addition, a lack of exercise, excess body fat and high  
levels of cholesterol (LDL), which sticks to the inside  
in blood vessels, reduces elasticity of these vessels.  
Hypertension accelerates arterial sclerosis which  
can lead to very serious conditions such as stroke  
and myocardial infarction. For these reasons it is  
very important to know whether the blood pressure  
is within a healthy range. Blood pressure fluctuates  
from minute to minute, throughout the day. Therefore  
it is essential to take regular measurements to help  
you identify an average blood pressure.  
• Genetic/hereditary predisposition  
• Underlying illnesses, such as kidney disorders or  
endocrine disturbance  
Blood pressure measurement  
Measuring your blood pressure daily enables you to  
recognize high blood pressure at an early stage and  
obtain medical treatment.  
The oscillometric method of measurement  
determines your blood pressure by measuring the  
pressure fluctuations caused by the pulse waves.  
Symptoms of high blood pressure  
High blood pressure can go unnoticed for a long  
time, since it does not cause noticeable symptoms.  
The following are all possible causes of abnormally  
high blood pressure:  
Since your blood pressure fluctuates within a day (see  
graphic next page), you should always measure it at the  
same time each day to ensure that the measurements  
are genuinely comparable. At the doctor’s surgery,  
nervousness and tension may cause your blood  
pressure to be higher than in familiar circumstances at  
home. This is known as “White Coat Hypertension”.  
• Overweight  
• High cholesterol level  
• Smoking  
 
• Excessive alcohol consumption

RX-3 English  
Treatment of high blood pressure  
If your blood pressure reaches upper values of 140 -  
160 mmHg and lower values of 90 - 95 mmHg in  
repeated measurements over several days, you  
should consult your doctor for detailed medical  
examination. You can assist the treatment  
prescribed by your doctor in the following ways:  
• Loose weight and lower your cholesterol level by  
reducing the calories and fat in your diet. Cut down  
on animal fats and eat more fruit and vegetables.  
• Reduce the consumption of alcohol.  
• Reduce the intake of salt: the German League  
for Combating High Blood Pressure recommends  
six grams of salt per day (i.e. one teaspoon) on  
average.
