		The arteries are the vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all of the tissues and organs of the body.
		Blood pressure is the force in the arteries when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when the heart is at rest (diastolic pressure).
		High blood pressure (or hypertension) is defined in an adult as a blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg systolic pressure or greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure.

		But when one parent is carrying the trait and the other actually has the disease, the odds increase to 50% that their child will inherit the disease.
		Symptoms of sickle cell disease vary and range from mild to severe, and symptoms may be less severe or different in children who have inherited a sickle cell gene from one parent and a different abnormal hemoglobin gene from the other.
		Infection used to cause many deaths in infants with sickle cell disease, but thanks to penicillin and appropriate immunizations, children with sickle cell disease are much more likely to live longer, healthier lives.

		Blood transfusions are not usually given on a regular basis but are used to treat individuals with frequent and severe painful events, severe anemia, and other emergencies.
		In some cases blood transfusions are given as a preventative measure, for example to treat spleen enlargement or prevent a second stroke (or a first stroke in an individual shown to be at high risk).
