Hypertension Management.
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common condition in which the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is expressed as two numbers, with the systolic pressure (the top number) indicating the pressure when the heart beats and the diastolic pressure (the bottom number) indicating the pressure when the heart rests between beats.
