High Blood Pressure?
High Blood Pressure?
By age 60, about six in
ten Americans have blood pressure high enough to treat with
drugs. Millions more have blood pressure high enough to raise
the risk of heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure can
damage the blood vessels of the heart, the brain, the eyes,
and the kidneys. It killed 33,000 people in 1990; this does
not include those who died due to a stroke or heart attack
caused by high blood pressure.

Blood pressure is
a measure of the force of blood against the walls of the
arteries. It is read with two numbers, systolic and diastolic,
which are often just referred to as "top and bottom." The top
number, systolic, measures blood pressure when the heart is
pumping out blood. The bottom number, diastolic, measures
blood pressure between heartbeats, that is, when the heart is
not pumping but is at rest.
The usual cause of high
blood pressure is a persistent increase in resistance to blood
flow through the smaller branches of the arteries, which carry
blood from the heart throughout the body. Why this happens is
unknown 95% of the time.
