What is blood pressure?
Your heart is the muscle that pumps blood to the tissues and organs. Blood is pumped into the arteries from the left side of your heart. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to the body.
Blood pressure is the force or power through which blood circulates in the circulatory system of the body. The unit of blood pressure is mmHg (mm Hg: millimeter of mercury). BP is also essential for the body, as it provides white blood cells, antibodies to the immune system, and hormones such as insulin. The following figures are seen in blood pressure.
Systolic blood pressure (top level of blood pressure) - Blood pressure is at this level when the heart beats and pumps blood throughout the body.
Diastolic blood pressure (the bottom line of blood pressure) - Blood pressure is at this level when the heart is in a relaxed or resting state after it beats and before it beats again.
