	High Pressure Centers: also known as anticyclones
		A high pressure center is where the pressure has been measured to be the highest relative to its surroundings.
		A high pressure center is represented on a weather map by a blue H. Winds flow clockwise around the high in the northern hemisphere.
		Sinking air in the vicinity of a high pressure center tends to suppress the upward motions required for the clouds and precipitation to develop, which is why fair weather is commonly associated with an area of high pressure.

	What Is High Blood Pressure?
		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.
		High blood pressure directly increases the risk of coronary heart disease (which leads to heart attack) and stroke, especially when it's present with other risk factors.

	Heartpoint: High Blood Pressure Information
		The actual mechanisms which explain why the blood pressure is high has to do mainly with the constriction of the small arterioles which are in all of the tissues of the body.
		Blood pressure is generally felt to be abnormally high at a level of 140/90, and some sort of definitive therapy and follow-up should be started at this level.
		The other danger is that the high reading taken in the doctor’s office is assumed to be the patient’s usual blood pressure, and he or she is overtreated.

	High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
		The pressure is higher when your heart contracts and lower when it relaxes; but there's always a certain amount of pressure in the arteries.
		Blood pressure is measured as air is gradually let out of the cuff, which allows blood to begin to flow through the artery again when the blood pressure in the artery is greater than the pressure in the cuff.
		The diastolic pressure (the pressure when the heart is resting between beats) is noted when the sounds disappear.

	High blood pressure (hypertension)
		Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries.
		High blood pressure in children, more often than in adults, indicates that something else is wrong, and the increase in blood pressure is a sign of an underlying condition.

		High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for congestive heart failure, a serious condition where the heart is not able to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
		Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood pumped from the heart against the walls of your arteries (or blood vessels).
		Blood pressure is read as two numbers: a top number (systolic pressure), or the pressure of blood in the vessels as the heartbeats; and a bottom number (diastolic pressure), or the pressure of the blood between heartbeats.

		High stress lifestyle, smoking, and high salt diet all contribute to this potentially dangerous condition and virtually everyone in the U.S. knows how serious it can be.
		The pressure would cause the garden hose to explode and that is what happens to a blood vessel too small for the pressure going through it.
		High blood pressure also increases the risk of “embolism:” the formation of tiny abnormal blood clots that form when blood flow is normal and can lodge in an assortment of inopportune locations including the brain.

		Whether blood pressure is high, low, or normal depends on several factors: the output from the heart, the resistance to blood flow of the blood vessels, the volume of blood, and blood distribution to the various organs.
		Because high blood pressure usually causes no symptoms until complications develop, it is known as the “silent killer.” Warning signs associated with advanced hypertension may include headaches, sweating, rapid pulse, shortness of breath, dizziness, and visual disturbances.
		When persistently elevated blood pressure arises as a i suit of another underlying health problem, such as a monal abnormality or an inherited narrowing of the aorta it is called secondary hypertension.
