Blood Pressure Monitoring
GET YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IN CHECK
High Blood Pressure (hypertension) is a condition which affects one billion people worldwide and leads to 7.5 million deaths annually from heart attacks, stroke, and other cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Specifically, increased blood pressure is the cause of 50% of cardiovascular disease, including more than 6 in 10 strokes and 13% of premature deaths overall; and 40% of deaths in people with diabetes.
What can I do to control my blood pressure?
High blood pressure can be caused by many factors, such as age, ethnicity and gender. Other factors, such as diet, exercise and smoking can be changed with lifestyle changes to reduce your risk for high blood pressure. It is also important to regularly monitor your blood pressure.What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is a measure of the pressure or force of blood against the walls of your blood vessels (known as arteries). Your blood pressure reading is based on two measures called systolic and diastolic. The systolic (top) number is the measure of the pressure force when your heart contracts and pushes out the blood. The diastolic (bottom) number is the measure of when your heart relaxes between beats.Online Access
