Blood Pressure Panel Detail

The top number in blood pressure that measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, in mm Hg. Code: Systolic blood pressure (LOINC: 8480-6) Value: Integer

The bottom number in blood pressure that measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats, in mm Hg. Code: Diastolic blood pressure (LOINC: 8462-4) Value: Integer

A calculated observation based on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements and defined as the average pressure in an individual's arteries during 1 cardiac cycle, in mm Hg. Code: Mean blood pressure (LOINC: 8478-0) Value: Decimal

Uniquely specifies the position the body was in when the person’s blood pressure was taken (e.g., sitting position, supine body position). Code: https://loinc.org/8361-8/ Value: Codeable Concept Value Set: To be developed.

Uniquely specifies the anatomical location on the body where the blood pressure was taken. Values sets are context (observation) specific, e.g., for blood pressure body location (right upper arm structure, left upper arm structure, entire right thigh, entire left femoral artery). Code: https://loinc.org/41904-4/ Value: Codeable Concept Value Sets: To be developed.

Uniquely specifies the technique or procedure used to measure blood pressure (e.g., ambulatory blood pressure recording; blood pressure recorded by patient at home; measurement of blood pressure at anterior tibial pulse using Doppler). Code: Blood pressure method (LOINC: 8357-6) Value: Codeable Concept Value Set: To be developed.
