ABOUT “BLOOD PRESSURE” What is blood pressure? (Systolic) (Diastolic) Artery Artery Left atrium Left atrium Left ventricle The artery wall expands. Contraction Left ventricle Normal state is restored to the artery wall. Dilation Your blood pressure changes all the time. Your blood pressure differs according to your age, gender and a range of other factors.
Q Why is the blood pressure measured at home different from that measured by the physician or at a hospital? A Your blood pressure may vary due to exercise, the ambient temperature or your mental state. When you have a physician or nurse measure your blood pressure, the pressure value is likely to be 10 to 20 mmHg higher than usual due to anxiety and/or stress. Knowing what affects your blood pressure helps you to better monitor your health.
