Understanding Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is one of the most important indicators of heart health. The two numbers represent the pressure in your arteries during heartbeats (systolic) and between beats (diastolic). Persistent high blood pressure damages arteries and increases risk of heart attack and stroke.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the numbers mean?

Systolic (top number) is pressure during heartbeats. Diastolic (bottom number) is pressure between beats. Both are in mmHg.

How often should I check?

Adults should check at least once per year. Those with high BP should monitor more frequently as advised by their doctor.
