Hypertension, or high blood pressure, means the force of blood pushing against your artery walls is too high. This makes your heart work harder to pump blood through your body. Over time, hypertension damages your arteries and heart. It can lead to serious complications, like a heart attack or stroke. Hypertension is diagnosed by measuring blood pressure. The Systolic pressure would be the first readings viz. a pressure by which the heart pumps blood through the body, and second readings would be the Diastolic pressure, meaning a pressure at which the heart relaxes and refills the blood. Hypertension is a condition that arises when blood pressure is abnormally high, typically because the body’s smaller blood vessels narrow, causing the blood to exert excessive pressure against the vessel walls and forcing the heart to work harder to maintain pressure. Untreated very high (>180/110 mmHg) or rapidly rising blood pressure (such as in eclampsia) can overcome normal microvascular autoregulation.
