Blood pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by blood on the walls of blood vessels. Blood pressure mean systemic arterial pressure. Blood pressure is the pressure of blood in the arteries that carry blood to the organs of the body.
Blood pressure can be divided into two types, namely high blood pressure and blood pressure.
Hypertension
High blood pressure also called hypertension. It is diagnosed when blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg or more. In determining the systolic and diastolic numbers are taken into account. If one or both figures are high, is said to have suffered blood pressure.

Hypertension) malignancies.
B) Isolated systolic hypertension
C) "white coat"
D) resistant hypertension
Low blood pressure
Low blood pressure refers to the fall in blood pressure below normal accepted. The acceptable level of normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. When the pressure exerted by blood against the walls of blood vessels during and after each heart beat is much lower than usual, is considered low blood pressure.
Symptoms of blood pressure occurs mainly due to decreased blood perfusion in the brain, heart, skeletal muscle and other organs.
