No not always. If someone is bleeding badly for example their blood pressure will be low but heart rate high as a compensation. Blood pressure and heart rate are usually inversly related.
Blood pressure is generated by the force exerted by the heart pumping blood into the arteries and the resistance encountered by the blood flow in the arteries. The systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart contracts and pushes blood out, while the diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart relaxes and refills with blood.
The heart. All blood pressure is controlled by the heart.
The heart beat is the beating of the heart. Blood pressure is the amount of pressure the heart beat causes the blood to push against the blood vessels.
Generally, your resting blood pressure and heart rate should fall.
The measurement of blood pressure results in two numbers: the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. This is expressed as a fraction: systolic over diastolic. The diastolic blood pressure is produced when the heart is in a relaxed state. It is the measure of the pressure exerted on the arteries during diastole, or relaxation.
when heart rate increases, blood pressure rises. When heart rate decreases, blood pressure drops. medications, and diseases affects the blood pressure. Source: About Blood Pressure
Heart rate and blood pressure are intimately related. Nerves and hormones constantly monitor and balance the heart rate and blood pressure.
You should take your blood pressure regularly. Especially if you are overweight or have previous family conditions of heart attack. Lay off the salt!
Polar heart rate monitors are generally used for working out, as they help you measure your heart rate to get to the right intensity or exertion level during your workout. With high blood pressure what you should be looking into is a Blood Pressure Monitor, which will allow you to track your blood pressure daily.
High blood pressure
The pressure generated when blood is pumped out of the heart is called systolic blood pressure. It is the highest pressure in the arteries during the cardiac cycle and represents the force of blood against the arterial walls when the heart contracts.
A blood pressure measures the amount of pressure on your arteries when your heart is pumping and contracting blood. There are two measurements. One is the diastolic. The diastolic is the measurement of the pressure on your arteries when your heart is relaxed. This number should be low, in between 50 and 90. It is the bottom number in the ratio. The systolic measurement is the top number in the ratio. The systolic measurement is the amount of pressure on the arteries when the heart is beating or contracted. This number should be between 100 and 150. The text book normal blood pressure is 120/80=S/D. hope that helps.
