EDITOR'S PICK

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels, and is one of the principal vital signs. During each heartbeat, BP varies between a maximum (systolic) and a minimum (diastolic) pressure.
The mean BP, due to pumping by the heart and resistance to flow in blood vessels, decreases as the circulating blood moves away from the heart through arteries. Blood pressure drops most rapidly along the small arteries and arterioles, and continues to decrease as the blood moves through the capillaries and back to the heart through veins.
Gravity, valves in veins, and pumping from contraction of skeletal muscles, are some other influences on BP at various places in the body.

Elijah Saunders, M.D.

“Only about half of the people in this country who have high blood pressure know they have it,” said Saunders. “Of those who know they have it, only about half are being treated for it. And of those being treated for it, only about half actually have their blood pressure under control. Nationwide, that translates into about 25 percent of hypertensive patients who are controlling their blood pressure.”

When the heart contracts, the blood is pumped from your heart through the arteries into your body. The blood puts a force against the blood vessel (or artery) walls. Your blood pressure is a reading of this pressure. When that reading goes above a certain point, it is called high blood pressure or ‘hypertension’.
