	AllRefer Health - Blood Pressure (Diastolic Blood Pressure, Systolic Blood Pressure) - Test/Medical Exams/Tests
		The pressure is determined by the force and the amount of blood pumped and the size and flexibility of the arteries.
		Blood pressure is continually changing depending on activity, temperature, diet, emotional state, posture, physical state, and medication use.
		High blood pressure increases the risk of heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure.

		Since the invention of the sphygmomanometer in 1896, the assumption that diastolic blood pressure was the paramount prognostic indicator in patients with hypertension went virtually unchallenged for nearly a century.
		However, diastolic pressure must always be interpreted in the context of the third measure of blood pressure, the pulse pressure, which is simply the difference between the systolic and diastolic values.
		The diastolic pressure tends to peak between the ages of 55 and 60 and decreases after that, whereas systolic pressure continues to increase.

		The diastolic pressure, which is the bottom number, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart relaxes after the contraction.
		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.

	Taking a blood pressure
		The highest pressures occur during systole as blood is ejected into the aorta and subsequent arteries of the body.
		When you apply a pressure of 180mm Hg to the arm, the 120mm of pressure from the artery cannot overcome your externally applied pressure; the artery stays shut.
		Having a low blood pressure is inidicative of a longer (presumably healthier) life.

	Diastolic Blood Pressure, Understanding Readings, High and Low BP - Guide4Living
		Diastolic blood pressure refers to the pressure that is exerted on the walls of the various arteries around the body in between heart beats when the heart is relaxed.
		The moment that diastolic blood pressure levels reach 90 mmHg it is an indication that the patient concerned is suffering from hypertension, or high blood pressure.
		Systolic blood pressure is known to rise with age as a result of the hardening of the arteries.

	► Blood pressure
		Blood pressure is a measurement of the force applied against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body.
		The blood pressure is usually taken while the person is seated with the arm resting on a table and slightly bent so that the arm is at the same level as the heart.
		To perform the blood pressure measurement, the blood pressure cuff is wrapped snugly around the upper arm and positioned so that the lower edge of the cuff is 1 inch above the bend of the elbow.

		Is an exaggeration of the normal fall in systolic pressure that occurs during inspiration, seen in patients with constrictive pericarditis or pericardial tamponade and in patients with severe pulmonary disease or restrictive cardiomyopathy.
		Blood pressure levels are affected by environmental, emotional and physical stimuli, so every effort should be made to standardize the conditions of measurement, keeping extraneous influences to a minimum.
		In particular, a pronounced postural drop in the blood pressure with standing may be a clue to severe sodium restriction in patients with renal parenchymal hypertension and chronic renal failure and also an indication of too vigorous antihypertensive therapy with agents capable of producing arthrostatic hypotension.

		Overall, it reduced blood pressure by an average of 5.5 mm Hg for systolic and an average of 3.0 mm Hg for diastolic.

		However, it is a normal diastolic pressure that separates patients with isolated systolic hypertension from those with essential hypertension.
		The normal diastolic and elevated systolic pressures are largely due to age-related stiffening of the aorta.
		This augments the systolic pressure further, increasing cardiac work while reducing the diastolic pressure, on which coronary flow is dependent.

		Systolic pressure was lowered by an average of 27 mm Hg, and the diastolic pressure by an average of 13 mm Hg.
		In those with the highest pre-treatment blood pressures, the treatment effect was greatest, indicating that the effective in hypertensives may be even more significant.
		In this patient-blinded, assessor-blinded, placebo-controlled study, the authors state that the data "lend support to the hypothesis that chiropractic manipulation of the thoracic spine significantly reduces blood pressure in patients with elevated blood pressure." Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly in the adjusted group.
