blood pressure

blood pressure teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı: The pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries and veins; it varies during the heartbeat cycle, and according to a person's age, health and physical condition
the great majority of people who have serious conditions from high blood pressure suffer debilitating illness.; The measurement of a person's blood pressure, expressed as systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure readings
The nurse spent all day taking blood pressures at the hospital.; blood pressure, force exerted by blood upon the walls of the arteries It is initiated by the pumping action of the heart, and pressure waves can be felt at the wrist and other PULSE points Blood pressure is strongest in the aorta, where the blood leaves the HEART, and diminishes progressively in the smaller vessels Contraction of the heart (systole) produces the highest pressure, while heart relaxation (diastole) reduces the pressure to its lowest point Pressure is measured at the brachial artery in the forearm (for consistency) in millimeters of mercury; pressures of about 120/80 (systolic/diastolic) are considered normal in young people Conditions involving high blood pressure include HYPERTENSION and STROKE 1; the pressure of the circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels; results from the systole of the left ventricle of the heart; sometimes measured for a quick evaluation of a person's health; "adult blood pressure is considered normal at 120/80 where the first number is the systolic pressure and the second is the diastolic pressure; The pressure existing in the arteries The pressure is reported as two numbers: the systolic pressure or "top" number which is the pressure when the heart actively pumps blood or contracts, and the diasolic pressure or "bottom pressure" which is the pressure when the heart relaxes or is filling up with blood An example of normal blood pressure is 120/80; Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the flow of blood through the arteries of the body This pressure is greatest during the contraction of the ventricles of the heart (systolic pressure), which forces blood into the arterial system Pressure falls to its lowest level when the heart is filling with blood (diastolic pressure); the force or pressure exerted by the heart when pumping blood; the pressure of blood in the arteries; is the pressure of blood on arterial walls It is produced by heart contractions and depends on the elasticity of the arterial walls and the volume of blood Normal blood pressure for an adult is 120/80; The pressure of the blood on the walls of the blood vessels Measured in two numbers The first, systolic pressure (top number), measures the pressure of the blood against the artery walls as the heart contracts The second (bottom number), diastolic pressure, measures the pressure against the artery walls when the heart relaxes between beats Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg; Your blood pressure is the amount of force with which your blood flows around your body. Your doctor will monitor your blood pressure Prime Minister Pavlov had been taken ill with high blood pressure. The pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels, especially the arteries. It varies with the strength of the heartbeat, the elasticity of the arterial walls, the volume and viscosity of the blood, and a person's health, age, and physical condition. the force with which blood travels through your body. Force originating when the heart's pumping pushes the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. Their stretching and contraction help maintain blood flow. Usually measured over an arm or leg artery in humans, blood pressure is expressed as two numbers; normal adult blood pressure is about 120/80 mm of mercury. The higher number (systolic) is measured when the heart's ventricles contract and the lower (diastolic) when they relax. See also hypertension, hypotension; the pressure of blood in the arteries as it is being pumped around the body by the heart; Force exerted against the heart and blood vessel walls by the blood (systolic and diastolic); The pressure that the blood exerts against the walls of the arteries as it flows through them Blood pressure measurements consist of two numbers The first shows the systolic blood pressure, the second, the diastolic blood pressure One of the functions of the kidneys is to help control the blood pressure In kidney failure, the blood pressure tends to be high; Blood pressure results from two forces One is created by the heart as it pumps blood into the arteries and through the circulatory system The other is the force of the arteries as they resist the blood flow The higher (systolic) number represents the pressure while the heart is beating The lower (dia-stolic) number represents the pressure when the heart is resting between beats; the force or pressure exerted by the heart when pumping blood; also, the pressure of blood in the arteries; the force of blood against artery walls Systolic blood pressure measures the force of blood as the heart contracts and pushes blood through the circulatory system Diastolic blood pressure measures the force of blood in arteries as the heart relaxes; pressure of the blood against the blood-vessel walls; The pressure of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels Changes in blood pressure following stimulation serve as one indicator of emotion; The force or pressure exerted by the heart in pumping blood; the pressure of blood in the arteries; the force of blood exerted on the inside walls of blood vessels Blood pressure is expressed as a ratio (example: 120/80, read as "120 over 80") The first number is the systolic (sis-TAH-lik) pressure, or the pressure when the heart pushes blood out into the arteries The second number is the diastolic (DY-uh-STAH-lik) pressure, or the pressure when the heart rests; the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries; pressure of blood against the walls of a blood vessel or heart chamber; The force of the blood on the walls of arteries Two levels of blood pressure are measured-the higher, or systolic, pressure, which occurs each time the heart pushes blood into the vessels, and the lower, or diastolic, pressure, which occurs when the heart rests In a blood pressure reading of 120/80, for example, 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure A reading of 120/80 is said to be the normal range Blood pressure that is too high can cause health problems such as heart attacks and strokes; The pressure of blood on the walls of blood vessels; force of the blood against the artery walls; The force or pressure of blood against the arterial walls as it moves in the arteries; The force or pressure exerted by the heart in pumping blood; pressure of the blood in the arteries; The pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries Two numbers are recorded: the higher one measures pressure when the heart contracts to pump blood to the body; the lower one measures pressure when the heart relaxes between beats; The pressure exerted by the heart in pumping blood; The force exerted in the arteries by blood as it circulates It is divided into systolic (when the heart contracts) and diastolic (when the heart is filling) pressures; bp
I have high blood pressure: Indicates that the speaker has hypertension (high blood pressure)
I have low blood pressure: Indicates that the speaker has hypotension (low blood pressure)
blood pressures: plural form of blood pressure
diastolic blood pressure: The lowest pressure within the bloodstream, occurring between heart beats, because of a diastole
systolic blood pressure: The highest pressure within the bloodstream, occurring during each heart beat, because of the systole
