General Information on Blood Pressure

Your heart, like a pump that works continuously
distributing the blood under pressure to every blood
vessel throughout your body, ensures that vital,
oxygenated blood is delivered to all organs.
Blood pressure is determined by the strength of the
heartbeat, the elasticity and the diameter of the blood
vessels, as well as various other factors.
The pressure created by the contraction (systolic
pressure) of the heart muscles is the higher, and that
at the relaxation (diastolic pressure) is the lower
blood pressure.
Both these values are necessary for the correct eva-
luation and a subsequent correct medical diagnosis.
Therefore, both the systolic and diastolic pressures
are measured when the blood pressure is taken. The
measurement unit is "mmHg" = millimeters mercury
column.
Blood pressure is never constant, but always chan-
ging. In the morning it is lower than in the evening,
