Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against artery walls and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). It is defined by two numbers - the systolic pressure when the heart beats and the diastolic pressure between beats. Adults can have normal, prehypertensive, or hypertensive blood pressure levels depending on whether their systolic and diastolic pressures are below, somewhat above, or above certain thresholds. Since high blood pressure often has no symptoms, it is important for people to get tested using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercise, and weight can help prevent hypertension.

Chapter 2 High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is defined as having a blood pressure reading of elevated levels on two different occasions. Hypertension occurs when multiple factors cause the blood pressure in the arteries to be consistently higher than normal, including environmental and genetic factors, insulin resistance, inflammation, and dysfunction of regulatory systems in the body. Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage organs like the heart, kidneys, and brain by forcing the heart to work harder to circulate blood through stiffened and narrowed arteries. Risk factors for developing hypertension include smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet, obesity, stress, sleep apnea, excessive alcohol consumption, and family history. Regular checkups are important because hypertension often has no symptoms until significant damage

The dash diet plan
The document discusses the DASH diet plan for reducing hypertension. It provides information on hypertension prevalence, blood pressure goals, and how high blood pressure affects the body. The DASH diet is highlighted as an effective non-pharmacological approach to treating hypertension through its focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy while limiting sodium, red meat, and sugar. Weight loss through diet and exercise is also emphasized as important for reducing hypertension risk factors like obesity.
Hypertensionpp
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects over 1 billion people worldwide and 65 million Americans. It increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease. The document defines hypertension as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher. Risk factors include age, family history, obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol, stress, and a diet high in salt. Preventing hypertension involves maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, reducing salt intake, moderating alcohol, and seeing a doctor regularly for blood pressure checks.
Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the pressure against blood vessel walls, affected by factors like blood volume, stress, vessel condition, and heart health. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg, prehypertension is 120-139/80-89 mmHg, and hypertension over 140/90 mmHg. High blood pressure usually has no symptoms but can lead to strokes, heart disease, and kidney disease if untreated through lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, weight loss, not smoking, and medication if needed.
The Benefits of Aerobic Exercise on Hypertension
The document discusses the benefits of aerobic exercise on hypertension. It notes that hypertension is a major health problem and risk factor for death. While genetics accounts for some risk, sedentary lifestyles increase risk by 30-50%. A controlled trial of 27 sedentary males with hypertension found that 10 weeks of aerobic exercise significantly reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, with effects lasting over 22 hours post-exercise. Aerobic exercise is highly recommended for reducing blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk factors.
What Is Hypertension? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines
Hypertension is defined as an average systolic blood pressure over 140mmHg or diastolic over 90mmHg. Lowering blood pressure reduces mortality, especially in those with heart or kidney disease, though benefits in the elderly are uncertain. Risk factors for hypertension include low fitness, inactivity, older age, obesity, sleep disorders, and short sleep duration. General exercise lowers blood pressure in healthy individuals by 3-5mmHg and in hypertensive individuals by 20-30/10-20mmHg. Exercise also reduces blood pressure in other populations like those with overweight, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, or kidney disease. Resistance training can lower systolic pressure by 2-4% and diastolic by 3-5

Exercise
Regular exercise provides many health benefits such as improved mood, combating chronic diseases, weight management, and strengthened heart and lungs. There are two main types of exercise: aerobic exercise which relies on oxygen and is beneficial for cardiovascular fitness; and anaerobic exercise which relies on fast, intense bursts and is useful for building strength. While exercise reduces the risk of cardiovascular death, it can also occasionally lead to sudden death from underlying heart conditions, especially in young adults. Proper screening with exams and tests can help identify those at higher risk.

High blood pressure the silent killer
High Blood Pressure or Hypertension is known as the silent killer. It is a condition that occurs without symptoms for many years and in most cases the cause is unknown. Genetic or environmental are the most explained reasons.
Systemic hypertension
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a medical condition defined as blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg. It is often asymptomatic but can lead to serious health issues like heart disease or stroke if left untreated. Treatment involves lifestyle modifications like reducing salt intake, exercise, and weight loss. Medications may also be prescribed depending on severity, such as ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, or diuretics. For hypertensive emergencies with very high blood pressure, intravenous drugs are used to rapidly lower the pressure.

Hypertension 2019
1) Hypertension is defined as blood pressure above 140/90 mm Hg and affects about one third of US adults.
2) Primary or essential hypertension, which accounts for 85-95% of cases, has no identifiable cause but is influenced by genetic and environmental factors like obesity, smoking, and stress.
3) Hypertension usually does not cause symptoms until end organ damage occurs, and it increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and other complications if not treated.

Hypertension- High blood pressure is a common condition that affects the body's arteries. It's also called hypertension.
If you have high blood pressure, the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls is consistently too high. The heart has to work harder to pump blood.
A condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high.
Usually hypertension is defined as blood pressure above 140/90, and is considered severe if the pressure is above 180/120.
High blood pressure often has no symptoms. Over time, if untreated, it can cause health conditions, such as heart disease and stroke.
Eating a healthier diet with less salt, exercising regularly and taking medication can help lower blood pressure.
Hypertension is rarely accompanied by symptoms, and its identification is usually through health screening, or when seeking healthcare for an unrelated problem. Some people with high blood pressure report headaches (particularly at the back of the head and in the morning), as well as lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus (buzzing or hissing in the ears), altered vision or fainting episodes.[23] These symptoms, however, might be related to associated anxiety rather than the high blood pressure itself.[24]
On physical examination, hypertension may be associated with the presence of changes in the optic fundus seen by ophthalmoscopy.[25] The severity of the changes typical of hypertensive retinopathy is graded from I to IV; grades I and II may be difficult to differentiate.[25] The severity of the retinopathy correlates roughly with the duration or the severity of the hypertension

1) Blood pressure is determined by cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. It represents the force exerted by blood on blood vessel walls.
2) Blood pressure is measured by systolic pressure when the heart contracts and diastolic pressure when the heart is at rest between beats.
3) High blood pressure, or hypertension, is classified according to levels of systolic and diastolic pressure. The majority of high blood pressure cases are primary (essential) hypertension which develops gradually over many years without an identifiable cause. Secondary hypertension can be caused by underlying conditions.

The Industrial Revolution saw the rise of factories powered by new machinery that could spin and weave cloth much faster than by hand. Wealthy businessmen built factories using machines like the Spinning Jenny, which could spin 16 threads at once, angering home cloth makers like the Luddites who protested by destroying machines. British inventors like James Watt, who invented the first steam engine in 1782, and George Stephenson, who designed the first steam train called The Rocket in 1829, helped drive steam power and transportation using coal to boil water for steam. As coal mining increased to fuel this new industrial economy, mining towns boomed but the deep mines and long hours took a human toll, with many workers injured or

The document summarizes key facts about Earth's bodies of water. It outlines that there are four major oceans - Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic - with the Pacific being the largest and deepest. Coral reefs form in shallow, warm seas and are made up of coral polyps' skeletons built upon older skeletons. The ocean is divided into zones from sunlit waters down to 650 feet where sea plants and animals live, to twilight waters where many fish exist, and finally to sunless waters below 3,300 feet inhabited by animals that feed on dead matter from above.

Credit reports are generated by three major companies - Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion - and include information on how much a person owes to various companies, their payment history, and other financial obligations like utilities, medical bills, and rent. A person's FICO credit score ranges from 760 to 620 and is calculated based on their payment history (35%), amounts owed (30%), length of credit history (15%), new credit (10%), and credit types (10%). Individuals can improve their FICO score by paying bills on time, avoiding opening multiple new accounts unless needed, keeping credit balances low at less than 25% of the credit limit, and reviewing their credit report yearly.
