There is no one person credited with discovering hypertension. Scientists Samuel Karl Ritter von Basch and Scipione Riva-Rocci developed sphygmomanometers to measure systolic pressure first. Dr. Harvey Cushing created the modern measurements for blood pressure. Scientist Nikolai Korotkoff discovered diastolic pressure and added that to the measurements. Physicians guessed that high blood pressure was bad but did not understand its impact on overall health until the 1950s.

What is hypertension essential?
High blood pressure with no discovered medical cause.
What is the lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your- blood pressure?
The lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your diastolic blood pressure.
Blood pressure is a measurement of what?
Blood pressure is the measure of the force of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels that it is contained in. Blood pressure is usually expressed in mmHg as the systolic pressure divided by the diastolic pressure.
Damage resulting from high blood pressure can be prevented or reduced f high blood pressure is discovered and treated?
Yes. You can help stop high blodd preasure. The quicker it is relized the better to help prevent heart attacks, kidney failure, etc...
Is blood pressure the pressure of blood in the arteries?
Yes, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on your arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body (systolic) over the pressure when your heart is relaxed (diastolic).
What is blood pressure used to evaluate?
Your systole and diastole (or systolic and diastolic pressure). Systolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart pumps out blood while diastolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart is at rest(in between pumps). Blood pressure is stated as systolic pressure/diastolic pressure. The normal BP is 120/80 mmHg.
What is blood pressure-?
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.

What blood pressure is the force of blood on the?
The blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries created by the large quantity of blood circulating in them. The number on the top is the systolic blood pressure and the number on the bottom is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic BP is the pressure in the arteries right when the blood is pumped out of the heart, therefore the pressure is bigger. The diastolic BP is the pressure in the arteries after the blood has been pumped out and before the next heart contraction. At this moment, the heart is relaxed and the pressure is much lower.
