HEM-412CREL-IM-3619 3/11/03 11:22 AM Page 7 A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Blood pressure is the force on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows through them. Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts, or beats, it sends a surge of blood through the blood vessels and pressure increases. This is called your systolic pressure. Heart Contracts (Pressure Increases) When your heart relaxes between beats, your blood pressure decreases. This is called your diastolic pressure.
HEM-412CREL-IM-3619 3/11/03 11:22 AM Page 8 A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE These two numbers provide important information about your health. When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called hypertension (high blood pressure).
HEM-412CREL-IM-3619 3/11/03 11:22 AM Page 9 A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure changes from day to day and minute to minute according to your body’s condition. For example, when you are exercising or angry your blood pressure increases, but when you are relaxing or sleeping your blood pressure decreases. These changes are completely normal.
HEM-412CREL-IM-3619 3/11/03 11:22 AM Page 10 A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE The World Health Organization (WHO) and The International Society of Hypertension (ISH) jointly developed the following Blood Pressure Classification. This classification, however, is only a general guideline because your optimum blood pressure depends on your age, morbidity, and treatment strategy by a physician. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN TO DETERMINE YOUR OPTIMUM BLOOD PRESSURE.
