BLOOD PRESSURE:
The blood pressure is the pressure of the blood within the arteries. It is produced primarily by the contraction of the heart muscle. Measurement is recorded by two numbers.
The first (systolic pressure) is measured after the heart contracts and is highest.
The second (diastolic pressure) is measured before the heart contracts and is lowest.
A blood pressure cuff is used to measure the pressure placed in your upper arm. Elevation of blood pressure is called HYPERTENSION.
