Hypertension in women is when the women has type 2 diabetes or a kidney disease. The top number of your blood pressure is called your systolic pressure, This number indicates the highest pressure that your bllod vessels see. The bottom number is called your diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure. Blood pressure measurenment is the non-invasive measurment of the blood pressure exerted by the ciculatory blood on the walls of the body’s atteries. If a person finds out that he or she doesn’t adress that they have high blood pressure they could have blood disorders, Their whole body could mess up.
Hypertension is when blood flows through arteries it pushes against the inside of the artery walls. The more pressure the blood exerts on the artery walls, the higher the blood pressure will be. The size of small arteries also affects the blood pressure. When the muscular walls of arteries are relaxed, or dilated, the pressure of the blood flowing through them is lower than when the artery walls narrow, or constrict.
The two numbers that measure your blood pressure are written like a fraction: one number on top and one on the bottom. For example, what many people consider normal blood pressure is read as 120/80. The number on top is called the systolic pressure. It measures the pressure inside your blood vessels at the moment your heart beats. The number on the bottom is your diastolic pressure. It measures the pressure in your blood vessels between heartbeats, when your heart is resting.
As blood is pumped from your heart into your blood vessels, enough pressure is created to send it to all other parts of your body. As blood vessels travel away from the heart, they branch off and gradually get smaller, just like the branches of a tree. One branch may go to the brain, while another may go to your kidneys. Blood pressure keeps the blood flowing through all these branches so your body’s cells get the oxygen and nutrients.
High blood pressure leads to hypertension. The blood pressure number on top is systolic pressure. Systolic Pressure is the pressure inside large arteries when the ventricles contract. The number on the bottom of the blood pressure is called diastolic pressure. Diastolic Pressure is the pressure inside arteries when the ventricles relax. Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood on the inside walls of arteries. High blood pressure can cause heart or kidney damage.
