What is Blood Pressure?
If one person has a higher blood volume than another, then the amount or rate of blood returning to the heart will naturally be at a higher pressure. If blood is thicker than normal, or arteries have plaque build-up affecting their smooth walls, then resistance increases and pressures again rise.
For people 40+ years:
Some causes of hypertension (high BP) are:
All blood pressures are individual because each heart pumps differing amounts of volume. The arteries themselves also have an effect on BP rates. A younger person will have more flexible arteries than an older person whose arteries are more rigid [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or even partially blocked.
The Blood in Blood Pressure
Male's age plus 100. A 25-year old for example, should have an average BP of 125 mmHg, systolic.Female's age plus 90. A 22-year old for example, should have an average BP of 112 mmHg, systolicDiastolic should always be between 60-90 mmHg (millimeters of mercury)
Taking a set of vitals is standard procedure for all medically trained caregivers and while patients rarely give it a second thought, health professionals love vital signs. The importance of these signs is self-evident to the medical world; they are the clues to a condition [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an attribute of life and once in decline, a harbinger of death.

Some causes of hypotension (low BP) are:
Systolic averages between 90 - 150 mmHgDiastolic averages between 60 - 90 mmHg
Medical conditions play a significant role in high (hypertension) and low (hypotension) blood pressures; blood is a liquid and can itself influence pressure based upon volume, viscosity (how thick or thin the blood is), and resistance exerted upon it by the vessels it is passing through.

Vitals are not just numbers; they reflect a patient's well-being and show changes in circumstances, often particularly important ones. A high blood pressure for example, can be the result of both genetics and lifestyle.

Causes of Hypertension and Hypotension
The artery used for gathering a blood pressure is the brachial artery. Larger arteries such as the brachial, have more pressure than the mean arterial pressure (MAP) elsewhere in the body. MAP can be difficult to determine and so the brachial artery is the ideal choice. Health professionals typically use the left arm for taking a BP because readings tend to run slightly higher in the dominant arm.
A general way to remember rates for people up to 40-years old is:
Blood pressure is a result of two forces that originate in the left ventricle of the heart. The left ventricle contracts and forces blood out into the circulation system via the arteries. It is the force of this blood pushing through the arterial wall that is measured to find the systolic pressure, or top number of BP. Once the left ventricle has forced out the blood, it relaxes and refills. The remaining force left in the artery is again measured, to give the diastolic pressure [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or the bottom number of BP.
