within the cardiovascular system. It is a vital sign for a reason; it is essential to maintain adequate blood flow to carry out nutrients to our bodies and live. Variations in blood pressure can create a domino effect and can be a silent killer. Hypertension or the increase of tension in the arterial walls is the medical term for high blood pressure. This decreases the amount of blood flow. How do we measure this? The two components systolic pressure (the top number) and diastolic pressure (the bottom

Energy is the strength and ability that is required in order to perform physical or mental activities. There are different forms of energy these consist of: magnetic‚ kinetic‚ heat‚ light‚ gravitational‚ chemical‚ sound‚ electrical‚ elastic and nuclear. The law‚ conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy within a system remains constant at all times‚ although energy within the system

The question is for adult patients with hypertension‚ what are the benefits of exercising 3 to 4 times a week on blood pressure compared with patients that do not exercise. Lewis defines hypertension as “continuous blood pressure greater than 140 over 90‚ hypertension that is not controlled.” “Hypertension or high blood pressure is an important medical and public health problem. There is a direct relationship between hypertension and cardiovascular disease‚ and a proportional increase in the risk
