Work out blood pressure category instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Classifies a reading using the 2017 ACC/AHA thresholds and reports mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure from the same two numbers.
ACC/AHA 2017 bands
Normal <120/<80; Elevated 120-129/<80; Stage 1 130-139 or 80-89; Stage 2 >=140 or >=90; MAP = DBP + (SBP - DBP)/3
Educational estimate only. Not a substitute for professional clinical judgement, and must not be used to make treatment or dosing decisions.
The higher category wins: if systolic and diastolic fall in different bands, the more severe band is reported.
The average pressure over a cardiac cycle, estimated as diastolic plus one third of the pulse pressure.
