Long-term force of the blood against artery walls is abnormally high
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Blood pressure is determined by both the _ and the _
- The more blood heart pumps and the narrower arteries, the higher the blood pressure
- amount of blood the heart pumps
- amount of resistance to blood flow in arteries
Hypertension (high blood pressure):
When blood pressure is too high
- Higher pressure puts extra _
- Over time, increases risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure
force on heart & vessels
Hypertension (high blood pressure):
When blood pressure is too high
- Negative cycle
** short answer
- If BP is too high, artery wall muscles will respond by pushing back harder
- Artery walls get thicker
- Less space for blood flow
- Then makes BP even higher
Hypertension (high blood pressure):
Risk factors
- Lack of physical activity
- Smoking, alcohol consumption
- Family history
- Too much salt
- Older age
Hypertension (high blood pressure):
Systolic Blood pressure =
> /= 130 mmHg
Hypertension (high blood pressure):
Diastolic Blood pressure =
> /= 80 mmHg
Blood pressure measurements fall into 4 general categories
- Normal BP
- Elevated BP
- Stage 1 hypertension
- Stage 2 hypertension
Blood pressure measurements:
Below 120/80 mmHg
Normal BP
Blood pressure measurements:
Systolic pressure ranging from 120-129 mmHg and a diastolic pressure ranging from 80-89 mmHg
Elevated BP
Blood pressure measurements:
Systolic pressure ranging from 130-139 mmHg or a diastolic pressure ranging from 80-89 mmHg
Stage 1 hypertension
Blood pressure measurements:
Systolic pressure of 140 mmHg or higher or a diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg or higher
Stage 2 hypertension
