Heart It
Low blood pressure, also known as hypotension, occurs when blood pressure is weak and oxygen and nutrients carried by the blood cannot reach the body's tissues.Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood on the surrounding arteries. The heart contracts regularly to pump blood throughout the body.A blood pressure reading consists of the systolic reading and the diastolic reading.
The systolic reading measures the blood pressure when the heart contracts. The diastolic reading measures blood pressure when the heart relaxes between beats.
