The level of arterial blood-pressure changes periodically during the heart activity: During the 

«blood ejection» (Systole) the value is maximal (systolic blood-pressure value), at the end of the 
heart’s «rest period» (Diastole) minimal (diastolic blood-pressure value).
The blood-pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular 
diseases.

2.2.  Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or the systolic 
blood-pressure is over 160  mmHg. In this case, please consult your doctor immediately. Long-
term values at this level endanger your health due to the associated advancing damage to the 
blood vessels in your body.

Should the systolic blood-pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and 160 mmHg and/or the 
diastolic blood-pressure values lie between 90 mmHg and 100 mmHg, likewise, please consult 
your doctor. Furthermore, regular self-checks will be necessary.

With blood-pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100 mmHg and/or diastolic 
values under 60 mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor.

Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood-pressure monitor 
is recommended. In this way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react 
appropriately.

If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please keep a record of 
the level of your blood pressure by carrying out regular self-measurements at specific times of 
the day. Show these values to your doctor. 

Never use the results of your measurements to 

alter independently the drug doses prescribed by your doctor.
