What is blood pressure?
A force is created by the heart as the ventricle forcibly
ejects blood into the blood vessels and through the trans-
port system. Another force is created by the arteries as they
resist the blood
fl ow. Blood pressure is the result of these
two forces.
What are systolic and diastolic pressures?
Systolic pressure represents the highest pressure at the
height of the heart‘s contraction. Diastolic pressure is the
lowest pressure when the heart is resting.
