Blood pressure or commonly known as (BP) is one of the principal vital signs of human being. The word pressure itself means the pressure brought about by the circulating blood towards the wall of the blood vessels. When the heart is beating, the blood pressure (BP) depends on each heartbeat. The maximum pressure is called the “systolic” while the minimum pressure is the “diastolic”.
