Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Diseases

High blood viscosity means 

• There is a high concentration of blood cells and solutes
• The blood is more thick and the heart has to pump harder
• Blood pressure goes up
• All are correct

hypertension

• stretch above more than normal
• low B/P

Hypertension is anything above...

• 120/80 mmHg
• 90/120 mmHg
• 140/90 mmHg
• 80/140 mmHg

The number on the bottom of a BP reading measures...

• Pressure during a heart contraction
• Pressure between heart beats
• Pressure of the blood vessels on the blood
• Thickness of blood

For a blood pressure reading, the number on top measures...

• Diastolic Pressure
• Systolic Pressure
• Diastemic Pressure
• Systemic Pressure

Chronic high BP is called...

• Hypertrophy
• Atrophy
• Hypertension
• Hyperatrophy

Normal blood pressure is...

• 120/80 mmHg
• 80/120 mmHg
• 140/90 mmHg
• 80/140 mmHg

A blood pressure cuff is also called a 

• Mercury meter
• Stethoscope 
• Pythogometer
• Sphygnomanometer

Systolic and diastolic pressure are measured in units of 

• mmHg
• Newtons
• Pascals
• Pounds per Meter

Coronary arteries are arteries 

• on the heart
• going into the heart
• going away from the heart
• in the brain
