for the question identify the nutrient responsible for the health problem

The normal range for the higher end of blood pressure is 140/90, with 140 being the systolic blood pressure and 90 being the diastolic pressure. Learn how the range pre-hypertension is 130/80 with information from a board-certified cardiologist in this free video on heart health.

when exercise intensity increases, heart rate and blood pressure increase too, but WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

as detailed as possible.

any information would be helpful!

thanks!

My dad has been suffering from high blood pressure for about a year now. He is at low risk for heart attack because he is very healthy, swimming at the gym every morning 5 days a week (although I’m not sure how good the genetics are). He has noticed just recently that the higher his heart rate is, the lower his blood pressure is. I’m guessing this has something to do with the physiological mechanism behind blood pressure and heart rate, so any additional information about that would be welcome.

Hypertension: Reduce Your Risk of Heart Attack Naturally – LOWER Your Blood Pressure Effectively & FOR GOOD!

Product Description
Your heart pumps blood throughout your body using a network of tubing
called arteries and capillaries which return the blood back to your heart via
your veins. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls
of your arteries as your heart beats.

There are two types of high blood pressure, primary hypertension and
secondary hypertension. Primary hypertension accounts for 95% of
hypertension and has several contributing factors. Secondary hypertension
occurs when there is a malfunction in one of the body’s organs or systems.

Blood Pressure Health

also if anyone wants to edit it or help me with a concluding sentence that can lead into how it causes heart failure

High blood pressure affects many areas of the body but is most harmful to the heart. High blood pressure is a main reason for heart attacks. Heart attacks are caused when oxygen does not reach the heart as it is supposed to and when the blood flow to the heart is blocked. Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood that the heart needs to function to the heart. High blood pressure can cause the arteries to become stiff and to allow a buildup of plaque on the surrounding walls. The buildup will cause the arties to become narrower which can ultimately lead to a blockage.
ummm no, your paragraph is not correct. Blood pressure is a great deal more complicated than that, and the damage it does is universal, not just primarily to the heart, but to every single major organ system. Inflammation causes plaque build up in the heart, not “hardening of the arteries” or high blood pressure. The greatest danger associated with elevated blood pressure is actually stroke, not heart attack. You need to go back and do a lot more studying, you don’t have your information correct.

just to respond to this…
how come everywhere i go i always read the same thing, which is:
High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, eye damage, congestive heart failure and fatty buildups in arteries called atherosclerotic plaques.

also this is a 7 page paper and this is only one paragraph

Blood pressure is defined as the force exerted by the blood circulation on the blood vessel walls and BP is one of the 4 major vital signs. Per heartbeat, blood pressure differs between the maximum (termed systolic) and the minimum (termed diastolic) pressures.

Due to the pumping of the heart and the resistance of the blood vessels, the blood pressure decreases while the circulating blood was moving away of the heart all the way through the arteries. It decreases greatly with the smaller arteries and the arterioles, continuing to decrease while the blood was moving throughout the capillaries back to heart all the way through the veins.

The BP is referred to the pressure being measured from a person through the upper arm. It is commonly measured from the brachial artery that is the major blood vessel which is carrying blood away of the heart. The BP is commonly articulated by the systolic and diastolic pressures like 110/70.

MEASUREMENT INFORMATION

The arterial pressure is usually measured trough a sphygmomanometer that in history uses the height of the mercury reflecting to the circulating pressures. These days, blood pressure assessments are still detailed in mercury millimeters (mmHg) even though the aneroid and electronic meters co not uses mercury.

BP varies among systolic and diastolic pressure for every beat of the heart. Systolic is at the peak pressure of the arteries that happens during the near end of a cardiac cycle in which the ventricles are in contraction.

The diastolic pressure characterizes the minimum pressures on the arteries that happen in the beginning of the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles were full of blood. The average normal blood pressure of healthy adult is 120/80mmHg that spoken as one-twenty over eighty.

Hypertension is the term used if the arterial pressure is abnormally high and the hypotension refers to the pressure that is abnormally low. BP side by side with respiratory rate, body temperature, and pulse rate assessments are the major measurements in the physiological parameters.

Arterial pressure measurements were non-invasive; it was measured without the skin or arterial penetration. The pressure measure invasively is through the penetration of the arterial walls in able to take a measurement. This method is less common and it is usually done at the hospital settings.

Blood Pressure Classifications to Adults

Hypotension – it refers to a blood pressure that ranges from less done 90 in systolic and less done 60 in diastolic.
Normal – blood pressure levels which ranges from 90 to 119 systolic and 60 to 79 diastolic.
Prehypertension – refers to the BP which are ranging from 120 to 139 in systolic and 80 to 89 in diastolic.
Stage 1 Hypertension – blood pressure ranges from 140 to 159 in systolic and 90 to 99 in diastolic.
Stage 2 Hypertension – is a BP that ranges from 160 and above in systolic or 100 and above in diastolic.

There are several factors that could influence the variations and the average BP of an individual. Factors concerning the age along with the gender can influence the average values. For children, normal ranges were lower compared to the adults and the height also varies. Once the adult ages, systolic pressures will tend to rise and the diastolic pressures tends to fall down. While in the elderly, the blood pressure tends to rise at the above normal range of an adult, mainly because of the reducing flexibility with the arteries.

I would like to know what my target heart rate should be when riding a stationary bike . male 42 years old taking blodd pressure medication? My heart rate will not get up to what is on a normal heart rate chart.
