Homeostatic Imbalances Hypertension is the term used to describe high blood pressure. Blood pressure is a measurement of the force against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood through your body. Blood pressure readings are usually given as two numbers -- for example‚ 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mmHg). One or both of these numbers can be too high. The top number is called the systolic blood pressure‚ which is the force of blood in the arteries as the heart beats‚ and the bottom

Heart Diseases Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a genetic disease in which normal heart tissue is progressively replaced with fat and scar tissue. According to St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital Center‚ tissue damage occurs predominantly in the right chamber of the heart. People who inherit this genetic disease may develop arrhythmias‚ or abnormal heart rhythms. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a known cause of sudden death from

Q 1) what do you understand by the term systolic blood pressure? Systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted against artery walls created when the heart contracts to push oxygenated blood throughout the body. As blood pressure is represented by 2 numbers‚ systolic blood pressure is the upper number. A normal systolic blood pressure is 120 or below although it largely depends on the physical properties and capabilities of the individual. Q 2) what do you understand by the term diastolic blood
