PPT-High Blood Pressure (aka Hypertension

Blood pressure is determined by the strength of the heart contraction when it beats heart valve function and blood vessel wall tension The body has mechanisms to alter or maintain blood pressure by specialized nerve cells called baroreceptors. Blood pressure normally rises and falls throughout the day but it can cause health problems if it stays high for a long time High blood pressure can lead to heart disease and strokeleading causes of death in the United States Are you at risk One in Christian Delles.
