High Blood Pressure Calculator
Systemic arterial blood pressure is referred to as blood pressure (BP). Blood pressure is the pressure on the blood vessel wall when blood flows in the blood vessel. It is the driving force that pushes blood to flow in the blood vessel. When the ventricle contracts, blood flows from the ventricle into the artery. At this time, the pressure of blood on the artery is the highest, which is called systolic blood pressure (SBP). When the ventricle relaxes, the elasticity of the artery shrinks, and the blood continues to flow forward slowly, but the blood pressure drops. The pressure at this time is called diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
