Blood pressure
5.1
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.
5.2
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 diseases
and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressures a necessity of
identifying those at risk.
