Blood pressure is the force exerted on the blood vessel wall by the pumping of the heart

• Systolic during heartbeat pressure
• Diastolic during rest period heartbeat pressure

• Normal range
• 120.   High.     140
•   ------------ ------------ 80.                    90

• Cardiac output
• Artery arteriolar resistance
• Total blood volume
• Viscosity of blood
• Electricity of vessel walls
• Systolic and diastolic phases

• Hypertension
• causes and hereditary factors
• Narrowing hardening of arteries
• Stationary lifestyle
• Diet overweight
• Excess alcohol intake
• Age smoking and stress

Angina heart attack blood clot stroke organ problems ie kidneys

• Hypotension - low blood pressure
• causes shock, blood fluid loss, hormonal problems and underactive adrenaline glands, injury to brain /spinal cord certain heart conditions severe insufficient food and fluid intake starvation effects dizziness and fainting

Heart heart becomes more effective and does not need to work hard increase output leading to decrease resting heart rate

Blood pressure lowers blood pressure reducing strain on the heart reduces all the other risk associated with hypertension

Cholesterol increases good cholesterol hdl which helps prevent fat build up in the arteries may help reduce levels of bad cholesterol LDL

Circulation improved by reducing risk of clotting less strokes and heart attacks

Body composition fat loss less strain on the heart

Stress releases endorphins
