High Human Blood Pressure Measure

A High Human Blood Pressure Measure is a human blood pressure measure for a high blood pressure.

• Context:
  • It can range from being a High Systolic (Maximum) Human Blood Pressure Measure to being a High Diastolic (Minimum) Human Blood Pressure Measure.
  • It can (typically) be higher than 120/80.
• Example(s):
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Healthy Human Blood Pressure.
  • a Low Human Blood Pressure.
  • a High Pig Blood Pressure Measure.
  • a High Human Respiratory Rate.
  • a High Human Heart Rate.
  • a High Human Oxygen Saturation Measure.
  • a High Human Body Temperature.

  • QUOTE: High blood pressure is the major risk factor for disease and premature death worldwide, and the association between blood pressure and fatal cardiovascular complications is well established.1,2 The risk increases continuously from a blood pressure of 90–114 mm Hg systolic and 60–74 mm Hg diastolic. There is no increase in risk with low values, and the risk associated with higher blood pressures increases with age and differs with specific cardiovascular disease conditions. Antihypertensive therapy reduces cardiovascular morbidity and all-cause mortality, and a target blood pressure less than 140/90 mm Hg is advised for most patients.
