Relation Between Hypertension & Effects Of Weight Loss

The rate at which heart is pumping decides the activities performed by the individual in the daily routine

Hypertension simply means pressure in the arteries whose main function is to transport blood from heart to all the organs of the body. Blood pressure which is measured as 120/80 and 139/89 is known as the stage of pre- hypertension.

The top number in the measurement of blood pressure symbolized blood pressure in the arteries as the main function of the heart is contracting and pumping blood towards the arteries and the bottom number denotes the diastolic pressure which represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart tends to relax after the contraction. An increase of the systolic or diastolic pressures is the risk of developing heart disease or cardiac disease.

The complication involved in hypertension is known to be the end organ damage as damage caused to these organ is the end result of chronic blood pressure and this is the reason only why it is important to diagnose the blood pressure from time to time and prevent the further complications.

It is been noted that there are different forms of high blood pressure are there essential or primary hypertension and secondary hypertension out of these essential hypertension is considered to be more predominant and accounts for 95% of the cases. Whereas in secondary type of hypertension blood pressure accounts for only 5% and is less occurring in the nature. The main reason considered for the development of hypertension is known to be the genetic factors as 30% of the cases are attributed to it. Patients having essential hypertension have a particular type of abnormalities in the arteries.

In secondary hypertension the diseases of the kidney is the main cause of having these hypertension and this type is also called renal hypertension as it is associated with kidneys. Cause of this type of hypertension is simply narrowing of the artery which supplies the blood to the kidneys and is found more dominant in women mainly by the thickening of the muscular wall of the arteries.

The cause of renal artery is due to the narrowed renal artery which impairs the circulation of blood to the affected kidney and the deprivation of the blood then stimulates the kidney to produce hormones and these hormones together with the aldosterone from the adrenal gland cause type of constriction and increased stiffness in the all body and that results in the blood pressure in the human being.
