Contraction of heart ventricles generates blood pressure. It is the hydrostatic pressure that blood exerts against he wall of a vessel. Rigid vessels maintain blood pressure; less rigid vessels deform and blood pressure is lost.
A person's blood pressure is considered high when the readings are greater than 140 mm Hg systolic (the top number in the blood pressure reading) or 90 mm Hg diastolic (the bottom number). In general, high blood pressure, or hypertension, contributes to the development of coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure and kidney disease.
