About Blood Pressure Guide

Empowering people with clear knowledge and practical tools for better heart health.

Our mission

Blood Pressure Guide is an educational health website built to help people understand, measure, and manage their blood pressure. We translate clinical guidelines — including the 2023 ESH and 2017 AHA references — into approachable, actionable content for patients, caregivers, and health-conscious adults.

What we offer

Beyond written guides, the site features an interactive quick-check tool, classification charts from hypotension through hypertension stage 3, risk factor explainers, and downloadable resources such as a blood pressure log sheet. Our free BPExp app is available for iPhone and Android.

Our editorial standards

We are committed to precise, straightforward, and well-sourced content. Pages are reviewed by qualified contributors and updated as guidelines evolve, so visitors can rely on what they read here.

What we don't do

The information on this site is for general educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider with questions about your individual situation.
