Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the arteries. The systolic blood pressure value (higher pressure or top value)represents the blood pressure produced by contraction of the heart muscle.

24031904 RX3 Plus GB 1-18 3/25/04 12:32 PM Pagina 17 RX3 Plus English Hypertension accelerates arterial sclerosis which can lead to very serious conditions such as stroke and myocardial infarction. For these reasons it is very important to know whether the blood pressure is within a healthy range. Blood pressure fluctuates from minute to minute, throughout the day. Therefore it is essential to take regular measurements to help you identify an average blood pressure.
