ENGLISH 11 contact the Service Department of Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal Care BV. General information about blood pressure Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (mm mercury pressure). Blood pressure consists of two values. Systolic pressure (SYS) is created by the contractions of the heart muscle, which pumps the blood into the arteries. Diastolic pressure (DIA) is created when the heart relaxes and fills with blood again.The World Health Organisation (WHO) has laid down the following
