BLOOD PRESSURE

Blood Pressure is a measure of the blood’s pressure in the
circulatory system, which changes constantly during the course
of the cardiac cycle. Blood pressure readings report two values.
The higher reading (systolic pressure) shows the highest pressure

in the arteries occurring when the heart contracts. The lower
reading (diastolic pressure) shows the lowest pressure in the
arteries, which occurs right before the heart contracts. Blood
pressure readings are written with the highest value rst, then the
lowest value. Readings of 120/80 are considered to be normal, with
high blood pressure being dened as a systolic pressure which is
140mmHg or more at rest and a diastolic pressure which is 90mmHg
or more at rest. Only a patient’s physician is qualied to determine
whether the readings obtained are normal for that person.

Preparing to measure blood pressure

1. Blood pressure uctuates continuously throughout the day. To

consistently track your blood pressure, try to take your blood
pressure at the same time each day.

2. Relax and remain still for 5 to 10 minutes before a blood pressure

measurement, and between blood pressure measurements.

3. Refrain from eating, smoking, and drinking, especially alcoholic
