Blood Pressure
• Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the vessel wall.
• BP is measured in millimeters of mercury ( mmHg).
• Normal BP = 120/80 mmHg.
![Page 3: BLOOD PRESSURE- WORLD HEALTH DAY 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554b6251b4c905793d8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Blood Pressure Systolic BP =pressure or force exerted on the vessel wall
by flow of blood due to contractions of the heart (systole).
Systolic refers to the pressure of the blood when the heart beats to pump it out.
Diastolic BP = Pressure when the heart is resting (relaxation/diastole).
Diastolic refers to the pressure of the blood when the heart rests in between beats

HYPERTENSION
• Hypertension is defined as systolic blood
pressure (SBP) of 140 mmHg or greater,
diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 90 mmHg
or greater.

Classification of BP
BP Classification Systolic BP Diastolic BP(mmHg) and (mmHg)
Normal <120 <80Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89Stage 1 140-159 or 90-99Stage 2 > 160 or > 100Systolic HTN > 160 <90
• Patients with prehypertension, increased risk for progression to hypertension;
• 130/80 to 139/89 mm Hg BP range, twice the risk to develop hypertension
The JNC 7 Report: JAMA, 2003; 289: 2560-2572

What is high blood pressure?
• A blood pressure reading above 130/80 mmHg is considered high. High blood pressure is commonly an asymptomatic condition, often known as “the silent killer”.
• Blood pressure measurements indicate how strongly blood presses against arterial walls as it is pumped around the body by the heart.
![Page 8: BLOOD PRESSURE- WORLD HEALTH DAY 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554b6251b4c905793d8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Key facts on high blood pressure
• Affects one in three adults worldwide
• Affects men more than women
• Affects poorer populations more than others
• Is implicated in 13% of deaths worldwide
• Is identified in WHO’s Health 2020 policy as one of the WHO European Region’s major contributors to disease
![Page 9: BLOOD PRESSURE- WORLD HEALTH DAY 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554b6251b4c905793d8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why high blood pressure is apublic health concern
• High blood pressure strains the arteries and heart raising the probability of heart attack, stroke and kidney disease.
• High blood pressure can lead to hypertension.
• Hypertension is diagnosed if readings on separate occasions consistently show blood pressure to be 140/90 mmHg or higher.
• Hypertension is identified as the world’s most prevalent preventable disease in WHO’s Health 2020 policy.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
High blood pressure – also known as raised blood pressure or hypertension – increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
If left uncontrolled, high blood pressure can also cause blindness, irregularities of the heartbeat and heart failure.
![Page 11: BLOOD PRESSURE- WORLD HEALTH DAY 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554b6251b4c905793d8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
The risk of developing these complications is higher in the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes.
One in three adults worldwide has high blood pressure.
The proportion increases with age, from 1 in 10 people in their 20s and 30s to 5 in 10 people in their 50s.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Prevalence of high blood pressure is highest in some low-income countries in Africa, with over 40% of adults in many African countries thought to be affected.

Hypertension is the most prevalent chronic disease in
India.
The prevalence of hypertension in India is low compared to world
figures. In India, 23.10 per cent men and 22.60 per cent women over 25 years old suffer from hypertension,
says the World Health Organisation’s ‘global health
statistics 2012’ .
India also fares better than the global
average of 29.20 in men and 24.80 in
women.

HTN Prevalence in India
Recent (2012) studies show that for every known person with hypertension there are two persons
with either undiagnosed hypertension or prehypertension
Increased blood pressure is a high-risk condition that causes approximately 51 per cent deaths
from stroke and 45 per cent from coronary artery disease in India.

THE MYTH• “Patients fear anti-hypertensive medications
due to side effects or getting addicted to tablets.
• But side effects from anti-hypertensive medications are rare and often not serious.”
THE REALITY• On the contrary, if hypertension is not fought,
it can result in serious diseases, some of them fatal

(JNC VI. Arch Intern Med. 1997)
• Reduce weight • Moderate consumption of:
• alcohol • sodium• saturated fat• cholesterol
• Increase physical activity
• Maintain adequate intake of dietary:

LIFESTYLE CHANGES
For some people, lifestyle changes are sufficient to control blood pressure such as stopping tobacco use, eating healthily, exercising regularly and avoiding the harmful use of alcohol.
Reduction in salt intake can help.
For others, these changes are insufficient and they need prescription medication to control blood pressure

WEIGHT LOSS
maintaining a normal weight: every 5 kg of excess weight lost can reduce systolic blood pressure by 2 to 10 points.

The WHO response
The WHO Health 2020 policy identifies high blood pressure as a major contributor to disease, and hypertension as the world’s most prevalent preventable disease.
High blood pressure is the theme of World Health Day 2013, with a particular emphasis on reducing dietary salt intake.
![Page 51: BLOOD PRESSURE- WORLD HEALTH DAY 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554b6251b4c905793d8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
WHO’s current European policy
Priority interventions of the action plan for noncommunicable diseases 2012-2016 include:
• promotion of a healthy diet through marketing and fiscal measures
• elimination of trans fats• salt reduction• cardio-metabolic risk reduction assessment and
management• promotion of physical activity and mobility
![Page 52: BLOOD PRESSURE- WORLD HEALTH DAY 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554b6251b4c905793d8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Key interventions
• Encourage regular blood pressure checks• Encourage patients to be aware of their individual
risks• Establish effective tools for early identification,
management and control• Promote physical activity, dietary improvement
and salt reduction• Provide low-cost antihypertensive medication• Set target for mean blood pressure reduction
levels across populations
