Where in the body has the highest blood pressure?

Our blood pressure is highest at the beginning of the journey from the heart, that is, at the beginning of the aorta, and lowest at the end of the journey along the gradually smaller arterial branches. The pressure difference causes blood to flow around our body. Heart Attack and Heart Disease Hypertension can reduce the elasticity of arteries and damage them. This reduces the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart, leading to heart disease. In addition, reduced blood flow to the heart can cause chest pain, also known as angina. "120" is the highest value and is known as systolic blood pressure. It represents the pressure in your arteries as your heart beats. "80" is the lowest number, known as diastolic blood pressure. This is the pressure measured during the heartbeat when the heart is relaxing.

Which part of the heart has the highest blood pressure?

The part labeled b represents the aorta. This is the largest artery that supplies oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to body tissues. It has the highest pressure because the left ventricle must pump blood to all parts of the body.

What is high blood pressure?

First, let's define hypertension. High blood pressure (HBP or high blood pressure) is when blood pressure, the force of blood pushing the walls of blood vessels, is consistently too high.

How does high blood pressure damage arteries and heart?

See how high blood pressure can damage arteries and the heart. The main way hypertension can do harm is to increase the load on the heart and blood vessels — to prevent them from working harder and more efficiently. Over time, it damages the forces of high blood pressure and the delicate tissues in the friction arteries.

What are the numbers above and below blood pressure?

The first or top number is systolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart beats. The second number, the bottom number, is called diastolic blood pressure.
