What High Blood pressure Is
High blood pressure also known as hypertension, is the high pressure (tension) of blood in the arteries. Now let us know what arteries are. Arteries are the vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all the tissues and organs of the body.
When the pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries the pressure in the blood arteries increases. This is known as systolic pressure. When the heart relaxes after the contraction the pressure in the arteries becomes the lowest. It is known as the diastolic pressure. The bottom number, the diastolic pressure, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart relaxes after the contraction. Thus we can say that the diastolic pressure is the lowest one in the arteries.
