ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force generated by the blood against
the walls of arteries during cardiac contraction and relaxation
(e.g., the pumping action of the heart).
What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart,
blood pressure reaches its maximum value. This highest
pressure in the cycle is known as systolic pressure. When
the heart relaxes between heartbeats, the lowest blood
pressure is diastolic pressure.
What is mean arterial pressure (MAP)?
The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average pressure
that forces blood through the arteries. It is not the average of
the systolic and diastolic blood pressure; rather, MAP
corresponds to a state of balance between the compressive
and expansive forces acting on the arterial wall when there is
no distension outward or inward. MAP is an excellent way to
evaluate the stress on the walls of your blood vessels, and
can be used to evaluate excessive load on the cardiovascular
system. Show your MAP history to your doctor to provide
additional information that may help him or her understand
your situation.
Why measure your blood pressure?
Blood pressure measurement can highly reflect one’s health

illnesses such as stroke, heart disease and kidney failure.
