Conocimientos basicos de la presion arterial
Your heart acts like a pump, sending blood surging through your blood vessels
each time it contracts. Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by blood pumped
from the heart on the walls of blood vessels. Systolic pressure is the pressure
exerted when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. Diastolic
pressure is the pressure exerted when the heart expands, or relaxes. When you or
your doctor take your blood pressure, both your systolic and diastolic pressures are
measured. If your blood pressure measurement is 120 over 80 (120/80), for
example, your systolic pressure is 120 while your diastolic pressure is 80.
