Blood Pressure Category Checker
Check your blood pressure category based on AHA guidelines and understand your readings.
AHA Blood Pressure Guidelines
The American Heart Association classifies blood pressure as: Normal (<120/80), Elevated (120-129/<80), Stage 1 Hypertension (130-139 or 80-89), Stage 2 (>140 or >90), and Crisis (>180 and/or >120). Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) above 70 is needed for adequate organ perfusion. Pulse pressure above 60 may indicate arterial stiffness.
