What
is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood
flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts
and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest). The pressure measured
when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called
diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why
Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated
with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's
dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring
blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk.
Blood
Pressure Standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education
Program Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard,
according to which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified.
This standard, however, is a general guideline and blood pressures var
y between different people, age groups, etc. It is important that you
consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your
normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be
considered at risk.
