minimum pressure between two heart-
beats. Blood pressure is expressed as,
e.g. 120/80 in millimetres of a mercury
column (mmHg).
Blood pressure changes constantly in
each individual and thus creates the
requirements necessary for the functional
capacity of the body. Thus fluctuations in
blood pressure are perfectly normal.
However, if blood pressure values are
constantly elevated at rest, hypertension
or high blood pressure is present.
1. General information on blood
pressure
The human heart beats approx. 60 to 80
times per minute. This causes blood to be
pumped into the arterial vascular system
and supplies the body with oxygen and
necessary nutrients. A constant pressure
known as blood pressure is required to
enable the blood to flow into the smallest
of blood vessels. In measuring blood
pressure, two values are determined. The
systolic value is the maximum pressure
as the heart beats. Diastolic value is the
