High blood pressure (HBP) is a serious condition that can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems.
"Blood pressure" is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.
Blood pressure numbers include systolic (sis-TOL-ik) and diastolic (di-a-STOL-ik) pressures. Systolic blood pressure is the pressure when the heart beats while pumping blood. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats.
You will most often see blood pressure numbers written with the systolic number above or before the diastolic, such as 120/80 mmHg. (The mmHg is millimeters of mercury—the units used to measure blood pressure.)

Hy. I've been reading some of your articles, and I must congratulate you for such a nice blog. I myself write for a legal blog and this month I was treating the subject of Pradaxa lawsuits.
ReplyDeletePradaxa is an anticoagulant that has proved to have some serious negative side-effects, especially for the elderly. I was wondering if you know about this product and what is your opinion.
