Circulatory strain (BP) is the power applied by blood against the walls of veins as it circles
through the body.
Estimation:
BP is estimated in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) utilizing a sphygmomanometer.
Parts:
1. Systolic Tension (SP): Strain during heart constriction (top number)
2. Diastolic Tension (DP): Strain between heart constrictions (base number)
Typical Pulse:
o Systolic: 90-120 mmHg
o Diastolic: 60-80 mmHg
Characterization:
1. Ordinary: <120/80 mmHg
2. Raised: 120-129/80 mmHg
3. Stage 1 Hypertension: 130-139/80-89 mmHg
4. Stage 2 Hypertension: ≥140/90 mmHg
Hypertension:
Hypertension, expanding hazard of:
1. Coronary illness
2. Stroke
3. Kidney illness
4. Vision misfortune
