What is pulse pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Arteries carry blood from your heart to other parts of your body.
Blood pressure readings are given in two numbers:
The bottom number is the amount of pressure in the arteries between beats (diastolic pressure).
How To Diagnosis Blood Pressure
Hypertension can be diagnosed by performing careful and repeated blood pressure measures. Blood pressure categories include normal blood pressure, a systolic pressure of less than 120, and a diastolic pressure of less than 80. Elevated blood pressure is defined as a systolic pressure 120 to 129, and a diastolic pressure less than 80. Hypertension is defined as systolic pressure greater than or equal to 130, or diastolic pressure greater than or equal to 80.
An estimated 1.28 billion adults aged 30–79 years worldwide have hypertension, most (two-thirds) living in low- and middle-income countries
An estimated 46% of adults with hypertension are unaware that they have the condition.
Less than half of adults (42%) with hypertension are diagnosed and treated.
