This is expressed in millimeters per mercury (mmHg)” (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2016‚ pp. 708). There are two parts to blood pressure: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure

systolic blood pressure measured in the auscultatory method is more accurate than that measured in the palpitation method because the palpitation method is prone to more human errors such as how strong the pulse is‚ where it is located‚ how hard the wrist is pressed during palpitation and a stethoscope which is used in the auscultatory method is more sensitive than feeling a pulse. Hearing the pulse involves less human error than feeling it. 2. The maximum pressure exerted when blood is ejected

Introduction: High blood pressure or hypertension meaning high pressure (tension) in the arteries. Arteries are vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all the tissues and organs of the body. Normal Blood Pressure is below 120/80; blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 is consider pre-hypertension‚ and a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is considered high.
