High blood pressure (“hypertension“) is largely treatable with lifestyle and medications, but only slightly over half of women with high blood pressure have their condition under control says a recent study fromthe American Heart Association(ADA). So what is normal blood pressure for women?

What is the normal blood pressure for an adult? Blood Pressure: In the medical field, blood pressure usually consists of two separate numbers. The top number is known as systolic blood pressure, and it represents the pressure inside the blood vessels when the heart is actively contracting. The...
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...
Stage 2 hypertension: At least 140 mm Hg for systolic or at least 90 mm Hg for diastolic. (Image credit: Live Science) Low blood pressure, known as hypotension, is typically defined as being lower than 90/60 mm Hg. Although some people's blood pressure stays relatively low all the time...

It can be calculated (estimated) by a formula using serum (blood) creatinine level, patient's weight, and age. The formula is 140 minus the patient's age in years times their weight in kilograms (times 0.85 for women), divided by 72 times the serum creatinine level in mg/dL. ...
After adolescence, a medically normal heart rate for any age adult is anywhere between 60 and 100 bpm. Most healthy adults have a heart rate of 55-85 bpm. What's an unhealthy heart rate? Trained athletes can have very low heart rates, and children typically have higher ones. If you are...
Low blood pressure mainly affects younger people, especially women. In contrast to hypertension (see above), there is only a need for action such as drug therapy in the case of hypotension if the patient’s symptoms cause increased suffering. However, since low blood pressure can also be cause...
A normal resting heart rate for an adult (who isn’t an athlete) is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. The normal heart rate for children changes as they age. Both tachycardia (fast heart rate) and bradycardia (low heart rate) are typically indicators of other health conditions. If ...
