Blood pressure monitors High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts; diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
What is Hypertension?
Hypertension is the diagnosis given when readings consistently rise above normal. Hypertension is the most under treated cardiovascular condition in the U.S., affecting roughly 20% of the population - over 50 Million people. It can lead to heart disease, strokes and blood pressure monitorsother serious conditions. Yet according to recent studies, only 27% of those with hypertension are adequately controlled, leaving 37 Million people at risk. Referred to as the “silent killer” because it often has no symptoms, it can be treated if diagnosed early.





Assessing High Blood Pressure

The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age) have been established by the National Institutes of Health JNCVI.
