Results Report

Understanding the test

A blood pressure test measures the pressure in the arteries as the heart pumps. A blood pressure test may be done as a part of a routine health checkup or as a screening for high blood pressure (hypertension). Some people use home monitors to check their blood pressure at home.

Why it’s done

A blood pressure test is a routine part of most health care checkups. Blood pressure screening is an important part of general health care. It allows doctors to monitor risk for hypertension.

What is hypertension?

Hypertension is when the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls is consistently too high. High blood pressure can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious health problems.

Summary of Results (Example)

Test 1: 119/71mm Hg

Test 2: 119/70mm Hg

Test 3: 119/70mm Hg

Averaged, your blood pressure: 119/70mm Hg, NORMAL

These test results do NOT make or confirm a diagnosis of NORMAL/HIGH blood pressure which can only be determined by a qualified health professional.

Understanding your results

Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). A blood pressure measurement has two numbers:

• The top number (systolic) is the pressure of the blood flow when the heart muscle squeezes (contracts), pumping blood.

• The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure measured between heartbeats.

For VERY HIGH >180/120, we recommend that you follow-up with your health care provider URGENTLY. If you need contact information for a local health clinic, we have provided options below:

For ELEVATED -or- HIGH, we recommend that you follow-up with your health care provider as soon as possible. If you need contact information for a local health clinic, we have provided options below:

This shows how the American Heart Association groups blood pressures so you can see how your numbers compare.

Image Description:

Table entitled “Blood Pressure Categories” showing which levels of Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure in mm Hg units correspond to which blood pressure category. Normal blood pressure is categorized as a systolic level of less than 120 and a diastolic level of less than 80. Elevated blood pressure corresponds to a systolic level of 120 to 129 and a diastolic level of less than 80. High blood pressure (hypertension) stage 1 corresponds to a systolic level of 130-139 or a diastolic level of 80-89. High blood pressure (hypertension) stage 2 corresponds to a systolic level of 140 or higher or a diastolic level of 90 or higher. A hypertensive crisis, for which you should consult your doctor immediately, corresponds to a systolic level higher than 180 and/or a diastolic level higher than 120.
