Page 22: Blood Pressure Information
Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries. It is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg.) Systolic blood pressure is the maximum force exerted against blood vessel walls each time the heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure is the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart is resting between beats.
Page 24 Health Reminder Hypertension is a dangerous disease that can affect the quality of life. It can lead to a lot of problems including heart failure, kidney failure, and cerebral hemorrhaging. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and visiting your physician on a regular basis, hypertension and relative diseases are much easier to control when diagnosed in their early stages.
Page 25: Blood Pressure Q & A
Q: What is the difference between measuring blood pressure at home or at a professional healthcare clinic? A: Blood pressure readings taken at home are now seen to give a more accurate account as they better reflect your daily life. Readings can be elevated when taken in a clinical or medical environment.
