What’s on the Blood Pressure poster
A 6-row table: Category · Systolic · Diastolic.
General adult categories. Diagnosis needs repeated readings, not a single one.
- Low — < 90 — < 60
- Normal — 90–120 — 60–80
- Elevated — 120–139 — 80–89
- High (stage 1) — 140–159 — 90–99
- High (stage 2) — 160+ — 100+
- Crisis — 180+ — 120+
Educational reference, not diagnosis. A reading of 180/120 or above with symptoms needs emergency care.

- Who is the Blood Pressure poster for?
- Blood Pressure belongs to the Body & health section rather than to a school year, because health is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning prevention can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Blood Pressure poster?
- Systolic over diastolic: the pressure when the heart pumps, over when it rests. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Blood Pressure belongs on the wall where that health work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Blood Pressure?
- Air Quality, Antibiotics and BMI & Its Limits sit alongside Blood Pressure in the Body & health section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Air QualityAntibioticsBMI & Its Limits
- Is the Blood Pressure poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Blood Pressure downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Body & health section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Blood Pressure poster print at?
- Blood Pressure is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Blood Pressure loses nothing.Printing guide
