Editorial medical illustration showing old and new standards for hypertension. On the left,a mercury sphygmomanometer shows the old standard: any systolic blood pressure over 140 mm Hg and any diastolic blood pressure over 90 mm Hg. On the right,the sphygmomanometer shows a newer hypertension category called prehypertension,where systolic blood pressure can be anywhere from 120 to 139 mm Hg,and diastolic blood pressure anywhere from 80 to 89 mm Hg. Prehypertension indicates a likelihood of developing hypertension in the future. Also shown is an conceptual view of the brain,heart,aorta and kidneys with the peripheral arteries fusing with the sphygmomanometer | |
