The prevalence of hypertension is about 25% in adults. Blood pressure is the pressure, measured in millimeters of mercury, within the major arterial system of the body. It is conventionally separated into systolic and diastolic determinations. Systolic pressure is the maximum blood pressure during contraction of the ventricles; diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure recorded just before the next contraction. The blood pressure is usually written as the systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure (e.g., 120/80 mm Hg ). What is High Blood Pressure ? High blood pressure (also referred ...
