The pressure in the blood is generated by heart pumping the blood into arteries, and is regulated by response of arteries to this blood flow. The blood pressure is expresses as systolic/diastolic, where top number indicates the pressure in the arteries when heart muscles contract and pump blood into them. The bottom number represents the pressure inside arteries when heart muscles relax after contracting. ... Read More »
A Guide to Low Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the force with which the blood pushes against the walls of the arteries. Each time the heart beats, it pumps the blood into arteries, and blood pressure is highest when heart is pumping the blood. This is known as systolic pressure. Between the beats, the heart is at rest and the blood pressure falls, this is known as diastolic pressure. Both these pressure are important for the body. The normal range for blood pressure is 120/80, and ... Read More »
The Implications Of Having High Diastolic Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is read and shown with two numbers, one over the other. Systolic and diastolic pressures are the two numbers that indicate the state of one's blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is the reading that one gets when the heart is beating while diastolic is when the heart is at rest. High diastolic blood pressure has implications as to the health of the heart as well as systolic blood pressure.
A high diastolic blood pressure is usually followed by a ... Read More »
Effective High Blood Pressure Treatment Options
High blood pressure is also called hypertension. This condition can affect vital organs and other conditions of the person negatively. High blood pressure implies that the heart may be overtaxed sooner or later due to pumping more than it should. The heart rate is measured by reading the diastolic and systolic beats of the heart. High diastolic blood pressure, above 89 implies that the individual may be prone to high blood pressure since this is the reading of the heart ... Read More »
