Basics
of
Blood Pressure
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.

como

se contrae.
