What Is Good Blood Pressure?

The Ideal Pressure Values:

A routine blood pressure measurement test counts, but is that what is considered ideal value greatly depends on how old the patient is, and what kind.

Every year about 40 thousand people die from cardiovascular disease. It is the leading cause of death among men and women alike. It is therefore particularly important to pay attention to our our blood pressure if someone is too low or too high blood pressure, can lead to serious illness.

But what exactly is blood pressure and what is your ideal?

Our body blood circulation delivers the necessary blood to parts of the body. This is necessary to maintain the blood pressure, a pressure difference between the central and peripheral portion of the blood path. During the blood pressure is generally high pressure is meant the arteries measured.

To measure blood pressure serves as a blood pressure measuring device, which by means of a cuff clamp hanger in vascular. The pump pressure required for measurement is generated, which thus closes the examined artery blood flow and reducing the pressure when the pulse appearance (systolic blood pressure) and repeated disappearance (diastolic blood pressure) indicates the value of the current blood pressure. At the end of the measurement, the display shows the systolic and diastolic values ​​and heart rate can be read off.

What Is Good Blood Pressure?

These values ​​should ideally between 90 and 119 (systolic) and 60 and 79 (diastolic) to fall. This is of course only a general value progresses, the normal range is growing, and the factors that influence is not. That is, in the case of a 30-year-old woman in the 113/72 to be excellent value, in the case of a 50-year-old lady has a 130/81 can be considered excellent. The higher numbers than men, even the healthy range are: age 30-35 122/77, 133/85 and above 50 for optimal value.

According to the new treatment guidelines mean only higher blood pressure than previously hypertension requiring treatment, thus - mostly elderly - patients with high blood pressure do not need a constant part of medical treatment.

In recent years a number of international guidelines for the treatment of adult humans, blood pressure target of 140/90 mmHg was nominated and can, if the different treatments are recommended to achieve this optimal blood pressure. Certain higher-risk patient groups: patients with renal patients, patients with diabetes or vascular damage has already been treated for this target level is too low tension imposed a therapeutic target.

The 140/90 mmHg worldwide achieve therapeutic targets adopted until 2014, when the US cardiology congress presented the JNC (Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure) new proposal to the 150 / 90 mmHg was defined.

The experts participating in more than 16,000 US from 2005 to 2010 and measured blood pressure data continuously registered drew the conclusion that the level of systolic blood pressure of 150 mm Hg-free treatment was determined compared with the previous 140 mm Hg it.
