  2. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

    If systolic blood pressure is elevated (>140 mmHg) with a normal diastolic blood pressure (<90 mmHg), it is called isolated systolic hypertension and may present a health concern. [ 49 ] [ 56 ] According to the 2017 [ 57 ] American Heart Association blood pressure guidelines state that a systolic blood pressure of 130–139 mmHg with a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure_measurement

    A minimum systolic value can be roughly estimated by palpation, most often used in emergency situations, but should be used with caution. [10] It has been estimated that, using 50% percentiles, carotid, femoral and radial pulses are present in patients with a systolic blood pressure > 70 mmHg, carotid and femoral pulses alone in patients with systolic blood pressure of > 50 mmHg, and only a ...

  4. Hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertension

    Blood pressure is classified by two measurements, the systolic (first number) and diastolic (second number) pressures. [1] For most adults, normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100–140 millimeters mercury (mmHg) systolic and 60–90 mmHg diastolic.

    The variation in pressure in the left ventricle (blue line) and the aorta (red line) over two cardiac cycles ("heart beats"), showing the definitions of systolic and diastolic pressure. Blood pressure is classified as normal blood pressure, prehypertension, hypertension (stages I and II), and isolated systolic hypertension, which is a common ...

    Manual sphygmomanometer and stethoscope used to take blood pressure in clinic. Blood pressure is recorded as two readings: a higher systolic pressure, which occurs during the maximal contraction of the heart, and the lower diastolic or resting pressure. [11] In adults, a normal blood pressure is 120/80, with 120 being the systolic and 80 being ...

  7. Management of hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_hypertension

    Hypertension is managed using lifestyle modification and antihypertensive medications. Hypertension is usually treated to achieve a blood pressure of below 140/90 mmHg to 160/100 mmHg. According to one 2003 review, reduction of the blood pressure by 5 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 34% and of ischaemic heart disease by 21% and reduce ...

  8. Systolic hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systolic_hypertension

    Cardiology. In medicine, systolic hypertension is defined as an elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP). [1] If the systolic blood pressure is elevated (>140) with a normal (<90) diastolic blood pressure (DBP), it is called isolated systolic hypertension. [2] Eighty percent of people with systolic hypertension are over the age of 65 years old. [3]

  9. Hypertensive emergency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertensive_emergency

    Diagnosis. The term hypertensive emergency is primarily used as a specific term for a hypertensive crisis with a diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 120 mmHg or systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 180 mmHg. [10] Hypertensive emergency differs from hypertensive urgency in that, in the former, there is evidence of acute ...
