Hypertension


High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common condition in which the blood's long-term push against the artery walls is high enough to produce health problems like heart disease. The amount of blood your heart pumps, as well as the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries, influence your blood pressure. The greater your blood pressure, the more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries become. The measurement of blood pressure is in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). It has two digits.

Number one (systolic pressure): When your heart beats, the first, or upper, number measures the pressure in your arteries.

Number at the bottom (diastolic pressure): The second, or lower, value represents the artery pressure.
