What Does BP Stand For?
BP stands for Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure (BP) refers to the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). It is expressed as two numbers: systolic pressure, which is the force during heartbeats, and diastolic pressure, which is the force when the heart is resting between beats. BP is a critical indicator of cardiovascular health and is commonly monitored to assess and manage conditions such as hypertension and overall heart health.
