9. Important information on blood pressure and its
measurement
9.1. What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure that your blood extends to the
vascular walls. Blood pressure is necessary to provide for constant
blood flow inside the body. Thanks to it the cells get oxygen that
provides for their normal functioning. The heart performs the
function of a “pump”, sending blood to the blood vessels. Each
heart beat creates a certain level of the blood pressure.
There are 2 kinds of blood pressure: a systolic (upper) one,
which corresponds to the heartbeat pushing blood into the arte-
riae; and a diastolic (lower) one, which means the blood pressure
between two heartbeats.
