Your blood pressure reading is typically expressed as two values, similar to a fraction. The upper number, or systolic pressure, denotes the pressure in your arteries as your heart muscles are contracting and pumping blood into them. The lower number, or diastolic pressure, denotes your blood pressure between heart muscle contractions (beats).
These figures can be difficult to understand, particularly independently monitoring your blood pressure at home. This calculator makes it easier to interpret systolic (SYS) and diastolic (DIA) readings by translating them into simpler terms.
Results obtained should not be substituted for professional medical advice. It is strongly recommended that you consult with your physician or doctor for further clarification or information relating to your individual health history as may be required.
