Ruherustblutdruck
Ruherustblutdruck, often translated as resting blood pressure, refers to the measurement of a person's blood pressure when they are in a relaxed state, typically after a period of rest. This measurement is a key indicator of cardiovascular health. Normal resting blood pressure is generally considered to be around 120/80 mmHg, although this can vary slightly between individuals. Higher readings may indicate hypertension, a condition where blood pressure is consistently elevated, while lower readings could suggest hypotension. Factors influencing resting blood pressure include age, genetics, lifestyle, and underlying medical conditions. Regularly monitoring ruherustblutdruck is important for early detection and management of potential health issues. It is usually measured in a quiet environment, with the individual seated or lying down, and after at least five minutes of inactivity. The systolic pressure, the top number, represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, and the diastolic pressure, the bottom number, represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
