Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I would like to consult you about why simple systolic hypertension shows up?Doctor's answer:
A normal person's systolic blood pressure is below 120 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure is below 80 mmHg. Hypertension refers to systolic blood pressure greater than 140, or diastolic blood pressure greater than 90. Isolated systolic hypertension refers to systolic blood pressure greater than 140, and diastolic blood pressure less than 90. Isolated systolic hypertension is more common in the elderly, as it is caused by arteriosclerosis and increased blood vessel elasticity, which leads to a decrease in systolic blood pressure. Pay attention to personal lifestyle habits and maintain a healthy diet.
