blood pressure
Blood pressure is defined as the blood flow of the body to the walls of the arteries, which is transmitted through the nutrition of all organs and tissues, which is called the circulatory system, which begins this cycle in accordance with myocardial contraction, to strongly drive all its contents in the blood , Then move from the heart to the aorta of the aorta, which is the largest arteries of the human body, and then moves to the rest of the arteries of the body causing the heart, allowing the heart to fill up with new quantities of blood to contract again to deliver a new shipment of the aorta again.
Blood pressure
The aortic artery is characterized by elasticity. When the blood flows from the heart, it leads to a strong pressure on the walls of the artery, which in turn causes it to be stretched sideways. It is worth mentioning that during the process of cardiac discharge, the artery regains its normal state by pressing the blood in the artery, To the surge, and therefore continue the flow of blood during the extinction, and it should be noted that it is called blood pressure during the contraction of the heart name systolic pressure Systolic Pressure , But in the case of its spread it is called diastolic pressure Diastolic Pressure , And the value of systolic pressure is higher than the value of diastolic pressure, and when measuring blood pressure, the reading is written in the form of fracture such as: 120/80 so that the value of diastolic pressure is the bottom value, and systolic value is the highest value.
Blood pressure measurement
It is important to note that blood pressure is usually measured when a person is relaxed and comfortable. Therefore, the normal measurement of the systolic blood pressure level of an adult is between 90 and 100 millimeters of mercury, while diastolic pressure varies Between the sixty-nine millimeters of mercury, which means that the mean is equivalent to one hundred and twenty millimeters of mercury for systolic pressure, and about eighty millimeters of mercury for diastolic pressure, and to measure the level of blood pressure use the electronic device available in the home or can be used manual device in the clinic For a doctor, which is known as the pressure device Mercurial, which is characterized by rigor.
The importance of blood pressure monitoring
The importance of monitoring blood pressure in reducing the serious health complications caused by both high or low, when high blood pressure, it indicates that the heart is having great difficulty in pumping blood to arteries of the body, which in turn causes heart failure or may lead to death in the long term, Or may cause kidney failure or heart failure if appropriate health measures have not been taken since the onset of the disease. In addition, low blood pressure means that the blood reaching the body members does not reach the speed or quantity sufficient, which leads to a decrease in the amount of food and oxygen The connective tissue of the body, e Which in turn causes total or partial destruction of the brain.
