1. Systolic blood pressure: The top number in a blood pressure reading, which measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats.
2. Diastolic blood pressure: The bottom number in a blood pressure reading, which measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats.
3. Hypertension: High blood pressure, which is a condition where the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high.
4. Hypotension: Low blood pressure, which is a condition where the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too low.
5. Blood pressure cuff: A device used to measure blood pressure, typically consisting of an inflatable cuff that is wrapped around the upper arm and a pressure gauge.
6. Pulse pressure: The difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings, which can be an indicator of cardiovascular health.
7. Prehypertension: A condition where blood pressure readings are higher than normal but not yet in the hypertension range, indicating an increased risk of developing high blood pressure.
8. White coat hypertension: A phenomenon where a person's blood pressure is higher in a medical setting, such as a doctor's office, due to anxiety or stress.
9. Orthostatic hypotension: A sudden drop in blood pressure that occurs when a person stands up from a sitting or lying position, causing dizziness or lightheadedness.
10. Blood pressure medication: Medications prescribed to help lower or control blood pressure levels, such as beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, or diuretics.
