What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube 
while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured 
when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is 
systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured 
when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart 
is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among the various health problems afflicting people today, 
problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the 
most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong 
correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring 
blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk.
