The blood pressure measurement usually includes a high pressure value, a low pressure value. Usually, we call the high pressure systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure refers to the blood rushing out of the heart when the body's heart contracts. At this time, the arterial blood vessels are under the most pressure, so It is called high pressure; low pressure is called diastolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure is when the heart is dilated, blood returns to the heart, blood vessels rebound, and the measured blood pressure value is low pressure.
Usually, there is a pressure difference between high pressure and low pressure. This value is generally between 30 and 40. However, if it is too large or too small, it should be paid enough attention to eliminate the measurement error.
What is the difference between the pressures? We generally measure the blood pressure difference of more than 60mmhg, which is called the pressure difference is large, the pressure difference is large, most of them occur in elderly hypertensive patients, often the low pressure is normal, but the high pressure is high, which leads to the pressure The problem is too big.
Is the pressure difference large and related to arteriosclerosis? Indeed, if the arteriosclerosis is severe, the blood vessels lose elasticity, and when the heart is dilated, the vascular resilience is poor, which may lead to a problem of low diastolic blood pressure. If there is a problem of high blood pressure itself, the high pressure is higher than the upper limit, then the blood pressure is high. Of course, the pressure difference will occur when the pressure difference exceeds 60 mmhg. Therefore, the degree of hardening of blood vessels is indeed one of the causes of the large pressure difference.
However, arteriosclerosis is not the only cause of large pressure difference. The pressure difference between blood pressure is large. It should also rule out other diseases, such as long-term high blood pressure control or aortic insufficiency caused by congenital heart disease, such as hyperthyroidism. Symptoms caused by sympathetic excitation lead to elevated systolic blood pressure, such as "white hypertension" caused by severe anemia, there may be problems with excessive pressure difference. Therefore, for those who have problems with large pressure differences, the possibility of a large pressure difference caused by the above diseases can be ruled out first, and then the problem of arteriosclerosis is considered.
So what do you think about the problem of large pressure difference? If it is caused by diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, severe anemia, through the treatment and intervention of the above diseases, control the relevant diseases, the problem of large pressure difference will naturally be solved; and for senile arteriosclerosis, blood vessels are lost The problem of large pressure difference caused by elasticity does not need to be overly worried. In this case, on the one hand, through reasonable life intervention, maintaining a low-salt diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and controlling weight, etc., on the other hand Reasonable choice of drugs, control of high pressure, and control of high pressure within 140 are important aspects of slowing arteriosclerosis and reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
