High Systolic Blood Pressure: Improve Blood Pressure Levels NaturallyJames Bogash
Having high blood pressure means your systolic blood pressure levels are 140 or higher and your diastolic levels are 90 or above. This higher than normal pressure puts extra strain on your blood arteries and heart valves, which increases your risk of organ damage, heart attack, and stroke. Wha...
This was a cross-sectional survey of cardiovascular disease and associated risk factors among 521 people living at four different altitude levels, all above 2800m, in the Mustang and Humla districts of Nepal. Data on BP was available for all 521 participants. Systolic and diastolic BP levels ...

MmHg represents the height to which the pressure in the blood vessels can push a column of mercury in a manometer or sphygmomanometer, which are devices used to measure blood pressure. When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a hea...
High Blood Pressure can be caused by a number of underlying conditions. Learn about the causes of high/low blood pressure in this guide.
Systolic blood pressure.This first number measures the pressure of your blood against your arteries when it beats. Diastolic blood pressure.This second number measures the pressure when your heart is resting between beats. Interpreting your blood pressure measures: ...
