Normal and high blood pressure
With every heartbeat, blood pressure fl uctuates between a maximum value
(systolic), when the heart pumps blood into the circulatory system and a
minimum value (diastolic) when the heart fi lls up with blood again. Blood
pressure is the average of these values.
Blood pressure may be higher than usual if parts of the circulatory system are
restricted, diseased or abnormal in other ways. High blood pressure can cause
damage to vital organs including the brain and heart.
