Hypertension is defined as blood pressure higher than 140 over 90 mmHg (millimeters of mercury).
A diagnosis of hypertension may be made when one or both readings are high: systolic (the pressure as the heart pumps blood around the body), given first; or diastolic (pressure as the heart relaxes and refills with blood), given second.
Modern lifestyle factors are responsible for a growing burden of hypertension: physical inactivity, salt-rich diets with processed and fatty foods, and alcoh...more

This is the diastolic pressure. Your blo...more
