ARK.] WARD V. STATE 425 Cite as 308 Ark. 415 (1992) justified a sentence of death if the jury had not been exposed to the unsupported allegations. Consequently, we reverse on this point and remand for resentencing. Id., Wilson v. State, 295 Ark. 692- A, 752 S.W.2d 762 (1988).
In some people, particularly older people, blood pressure drops excessively when they sit or stand up (a condition called orthostatic or postural hypotension).
Hypotension (HI-po-TEN-shun) is abnormally low blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. Blood pressure is measured as systolic (sis-TOL-ik) and diastolic (di-a-STOL-ik) pressures. Systolic refers to blood pressure when the heart beats while pumping blood. Diastolic refers to blood pressure when the heart is at rest between beats. You most often will see blood pressure numbers written with the systolic number above or before the diastolic number, such as 120/80 mmHg.
