Patient Notes Hypertension VOL 100 / NO 4 / OCTOBER 1996 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE It usually doesn't matter what causes hypertension (high blood pressure). The important thing is to take some simple steps to keep your blood pressure under control. These steps can reduce your risk of heart diseaseand help you live a healthier life. What do the numbers in a blood pressure reading mean? If you have hypertension, your blood pressure is likely to be 140/90 or higher, which is read as "140 over 90." (The average blood pressure for a healthy adult is about 120/80.) The first number (the systolic pressure) shows the amount of pressure in your arteries when blood is pumped into them each time your heart beats. The second number (the diastolic pressure) shows the amount of pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats. What causes high blood pressure? When the specific cause of high blood pressure is unknown, a person is said to have primary hypertension. Occasionally, hypertension is related to another conditiona disorder of the kidneys or the central nervous system, for example. This is called secondary hypertension. But regardless of the cause, it's important to get high blood pressure under control. What happens if hypertension isn't controlled?

Privacy Statement Hypertension - Description Anyone can develop high blood pressure, also called hypertension. African Americans are at higher risk for this serious disease than any other race or ethnic group. High blood pressure tends to be more common, happens at an earlier age, and is more severe for many African Americans. The good news is that high blood pressure can be controlled—and better yet, it can be prevented! What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against your blood vessels. Your blood pressure is at its greatest when your heart contracts and is pumping blood. This is systolic blood pressure. When your heart rests between beats, your blood pressure falls. This is called diastolic blood pressure. Blood pressure is always given as these two numbers: the systolic and diastolic pressures. The numbers are usually written one above or before the other, with systolic first, for example, 120/80. Is high blood pressure really a big deal?

In fact, African American women who are overweight and have high blood pressure are at greater risk than any other group for developing heart failure, according to a new study. "We don't know the cause and effect at this point," said researcher Dr. Stephanie Dunlap of the University of Illinois at Chicago. "There could be a hormonal difference. It could be that when you combine these three factors together being a woman, being African American with high blood pressure and obesity it might turn on a certain set of genes that could dispose you to heart failure."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) It only takes 60 to 90 minutes of exercise a week to significantly lower blood pressure, Japanese researchers reported on Thursday. That amount of aerobic exercise spread out over a week reduced systolic blood pressure the top number on a blood pressure reading an average of 12 points and the lower or diastolic reading by 8 points, the researchers found. Doctors consider optimal blood pressure to be 120/80 or lower. "This study confirms the importance of exercise," Dr. Michael Weber, an editor at the American Journal of Hypertension, which published the study, said in a statement. "The investigators found a person does not have to spend great amounts of time working out." Many guidelines currently call for anywhere between half an hour and an hour of moderate exercise on most days of the week to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity.

UNDERSTANDING HYPERTENSION Nearly one in four Americans has hypertension. Hypertension is a dangerous condition that may lead to heart attack, stroke or kidney failure. To help you control blood pressure, it's important to understand what blood pressure is, what causes it to rise, what the risk factors are, and how you can prevent it. Hypertension occurs when arterioles, small blood vessels that branch off from the arteries, become constricted making it difficult for blood to pass through them. As a result, blood pressure rises causing your heart to work harder. If your blood pressure at rest stays at 140/90 or more, you may have hypertension. If you have hypertension, a physician can help you manage the condition effectively. Unfortunately, hypertension usually presents no clear symptoms. Some people may experience headaches or dizziness in the morning but, for most, there are no symptoms at all. The easiest and most reliable way to find out if you have hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked regularly. RISK FACTORS You may be at greater risk for high blood pressure if you: Have a history of hypertension in your family.

Health Station Demo What is Blood Pressure? Blood is carried from the heart to all parts of your body in vessels called arteries. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Each time the heart beats (about 60-70 times a minute at rest), it pumps out blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is at its highest when the heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure. When the heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls. This is the diastolic pressure. Blood pressure is always given as these two numbers, the systolic and diastolic pressures. Both are important. Usually they are written one above or before the other, such as 120/80 mmHg. The top number is the systolic and the bottom the diastolic. When the two measurements are written down, the systolic pressure is the first or top number, and the diastolic pressure is the second or bottom number (for example, 120/80). If your blood pressure is 120/80, you say that it is "120 over 80." Blood pressure changes during the day. It is lowest as you sleep and rises when you get up. It also can rise when you are excited, nervous, or active.
