IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON BLOOD PRESSURE
AND ITS MEASUREMENT
How does high or low blood pressure arise?
Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of
the brain and adjusts to a
variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To
adjust blood pressure, the
strength and speed of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circu-
latory blood vessels is altered.Blood vessel width is controlled by fine
muscles in the blood vessel walls.
Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during he-
art activity: During the “blood ejection” (Systole) the value is highest
(systolic blood pressure value). At the end of the heart’s “rest period”
(Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value).
Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order
to prevent particular diseases.
