Record blood pressure taken in mmHg. And the first number in that record is the systolic AD, and the second - diastolic. Optimal parameters for a healthy individual is 120/80 mm Hg is considered normal indicators to 140/90 mm Hg. Art. (inclusive).
Hypertension, considered pathology begins with excess target of 140/90 mmHg And the pressure is increased if the patient has arterial narrowing.
