Blood Pressure Measurement

Blood Pressure Measurement is a routine diagnostic procedure that evaluates the pressure exerted by blood on the walls of arteries during heartbeats (systolic pressure) and between beats (diastolic pressure). It is a key indicator of cardiovascular health. A reading of 120/80 mmHg is considered normal, while consistently high readings may indicate hypertension, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Conversely, low blood pressure, or hypotension, may cause dizziness, fatigue, or shock. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is essential for early detection, effective management, and maintaining overall heart health.
