tansiyonu

Tansiyonu, which translates to blood pressure in Turkish, refers to the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It is a vital sign, essential for understanding an individual's cardiovascular health. Blood pressure is typically measured using two numbers: systolic pressure, the higher number, which indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, and diastolic pressure, the lower number, representing the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. A normal blood pressure reading for an adult is generally considered to be around 120/80 mmHg.

Deviations from this normal range can indicate health issues. High blood pressure, known as hypertension, is a condition where blood pressure is consistently elevated. It is a significant risk factor for heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other serious health problems. Conversely, low blood pressure, or hypotension, can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, and fatigue, and in severe cases, can be a sign of underlying medical conditions. Regular monitoring of tansiyonu is recommended, especially for individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease or other risk factors. Lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management can play a crucial role in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. Medical intervention may also be necessary for managing both hypertension and hypotension.
