The document discusses high blood pressure and its causes. It explains that blood needs to circulate throughout the body, pumped by the heart through arteries. The pressure exerted by the heart to push blood through the arteries is called the maximum or systolic pressure, while the resistance of the arteries is the minimum or diastolic pressure. Narrowed arteries increase resistance and force the heart to work harder to maintain blood flow, leading to high blood pressure. While the underlying cause of narrowed arteries is unknown, treatments aim to dilate arteries to normal size, but lifestyle changes like exercise and diet are also recommended to control high blood pressure.
Blood pressure is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. Most of this pressure is due to work done by the heart by pumping blood through the circulatory system. Used without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the pressure in large arteries of the systemic circulation.

This presentation is about heart disease. Heart attack is the most dangerous non-communicable disease in this time. Here you can know what are the symptoms and how to prevent heart attack.
Heart attack symptoms vary. Not all heart attacks begin with a sudden, . The warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack aren't the same for everyone. Many heart attacks start slowly as mild pain or discomfort. Some people don’t have symptoms at all (this is called a silent heart attack).

After attending this presentation audience will be able to:
•Define Blood pressure, Normal BP and Hypertension
•Classify Hypertension
•Enlist Predisposing factors of Hypertension
•Describe the consequences of Hypertension
•Explain/plan that how to avoid Hypertension
A blood pressure measurement is always expressed in two numbers. The higher (systolic) number represents the pressure while the heart is beating, and the lower (diastolic) number represents the pressure when the heart is resting between beats.
ORIGINWhen your heart beats, it pumps blood round your body to give it the energy and oxygen it needs. As the blood moves, it pushes against the sides of the blood vessels. The strength of this pushing is your blood pressure. More is the push , more the pressure on blood vessels, high is the BP and vice versa.

This presentation speaks about hypertension and how the brain regulates blood pressure. It also describes the ill effects of increased blood pressure on the human body. The intention of this presentation is to create an awareness on how lifestyle changes can help in managing blood pressure
6. For blood to circulate through the body it is necessary that a pump (the heart) do force (pressure) to push this blood inside the arteries.
7. When passing the blood within the arteries is a resistance (pressure), caused by friction. The more narrow the artery, the greater the resThe more narrow the artery, the greater the resistance (pressure) to the blood flow.istance (pressure) to the blood flow.
8. The strength of the heart to pump blood is called the maximum pressure, or systolic.
9. The resistance that offers the artery to the blood flow is called the minimum pressure, or diastolic.
11. The maximum pressure must always be greater than the minimum, so that blood can circulate. There is pressure of 8 x 12 or 6 to 10, because if the minimum is greater than the maximum the blood circulation.
12. Blood pressure depends on the width (size) of the artery. Artery with normal caliber allow maximum and minimum pressures are also normal. If the caliber of the artery to narrow, increasing the friction of blood and the minimum pressure, the heart has to do more strength to push blood into the artery, increasing the maximum pressure. arterynarrowed arterynormal pressureincreased pressurenormal
13. Seeexamples: Artery with normal caliber. The blood passes without difficulty. Normal blood pressure, type 12 x 7. In this case, the force that makes the heart - Maximum pressure - is normal, because the artery has appropriate size and not much resistance to the blood pressure (minimum standard).
14. Artery with small lumps. The blood passes with difficulty. Abnormal blood pressure, type 18 x 10. When the size of the artery is reduced increases resistance to the passage blood and, therefore, amounts to minimum pressure. When the minimum pressure rises, the heart has to do much more force to push blood, and consequently also rises to maximum pressure.
15. Hypertension (Or high blood pressure) has its origin in the narrowing of the caliber of the arteries (and consequent increase in pressure), which also forces the heart to increase its pressure in order to push the blood in these narrowed arteries.
16. It is not known, until now, the reason the arteries become thinner. Untilwe discover this reason, there is no cure for high blood pressure.
17. The remedies for high blood pressure are designed to dilate the artery, causing her to return to its normal size. Who have high blood pressure should take their medications regularly. No use taking medication for some time and think you are cured. Not!!
18. When the person stops taking the drugs to get high back pressure. This happens because the remedy is not acting on the cause of hypertension (which is not known), but its effects on (Narrowing of the artery).
19. Who have high blood pressure can usually at the discretion doctor, stop taking drugs (and maintain their normal pressure) if: *reduce body weight and keep it normal *regular physical exercise, like walking (preferably every day) for at least 30 minutes. *alcohol use very sparingly. *NEVER smoke. *Avoid foods high in salt and fat.
20. High blood pressure is also becoming a disease of children, because they are fattening and eating too much salt (sandwiches, popcorn, cookies, etc.).
