Your resting blood pressure is [above normal/ high/ very high/ severely high]. We suggest you see your doctor within the < next six months/ next two months/ next two weeks/ today> to have your blood pressure rechecked.

The average resting blood pressure value is based on the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure. NIH Publication, 2003 and the American Heart Association.

Normal and abnormal Ambulatory Blood Pressure values were based on the following source: Hypertension. 2013; 62: 988-994 Published online before print September 23, 2013, doi: 10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.113.02148

Please note that resting blood pressure and ambulatory blood pressure have different normal evaluation thresholds. Recommended reference values for ambulatory blood pressure are not the same as the reference value for resting blood pressure.

*Report of Findings for Resting Blood Pressure

On <Date of Examination>, <Participant Name > had their blood pressure taken for a blood pressure monitoring feasibility study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics.

Average Blood Pressure

Your average measurement Normal

Systolic Blood Pressure: ______mm Hg < 120

Diastolic Blood Pressure: ______mm Hg < 80

Your blood pressure today is severely high. We strongly encourage that a physician see you today. We can make this referral for you now. In addition, you should see your doctor as soon as possible to have your high blood pressure treated. Because your average blood pressure reading was 180/110 or higher, you will not be able to participate in this study.

*Participant is excluded from the study and no additional report of findings will be given to the participant.
