2. ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE 2.1. What is Blood Pressure? Simply put, arterial blood pressure is the force of blood exerted against the walls of the arteries. There are two components to blood pressure - systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic, the higher pressure, occurs during contraction of the heart. Diastolic, the lower pressure, occurs when the heart is at "rest.
Many of these influences are only temporary or short term, though chronic (long term) exposure to some factors may result in permanently elevated blood pressure levels. 6. TROUBLESHOOTING If any abnormality should arise during use, check the following points.
