2.9.2 Blood Circulation
The blood circulation is responsible for supplying the body with oxygen.
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the arteries.
The systolic blood pressure value (higher pressure or top value) represents the
blood pressure produced by contraction of the heart muscle.
The diastolic blood pressure value (lower pressure or lower value) represents the
blood pressure produced by relaxation of the heart muscle.
2.9 About Blood Pressure

measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is more than 25% slower or

arteriosclerosis which can lead to serious conditions such as stroke and

blood pressure is within a healthy range. Blood pressure fluctuates from
minute to minute, throughout the day. Therefore it is essential to take regular
