Issue Proposal
There are 3 SNOMED CT codes used in this model top level to record the type of BP - then 2 codes to record the systolic and diastolic results/values. For each top code it needs to be validated that there are clinically validated systolic concepts defined. Or even if the concept of systolic and diastolic is valid for CVP and invasive blood pressures. This need work with an expert in intensive care to validate.
