What is high blood pressure?

High blood pressure is a common cardiovascular disorder. It concerns more than 10 million people in France. Usually, blood pressure - blood pressure in the arteries - is about 12/8 cmHg (centimeters of mercury). The first number corresponds to the blood pressure measured during the relaxation phase of the heart (diastolic pressure).

Blood pressure varies during the day. In a situation of stress or intense emotion, it rises naturally. When the blood pressure remains high, beyond 14/9 cmHg, we talk about high blood pressure.
