The combined measurement is read as the systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure. Abnormally high pressure within the arteries is called hypertension, or high blood pressure. Hypertension is usually diagnosed when blood pressure measurements are higher than 140mmHg systolic and 90mmHg diastolic on three separate occasions.
所測得的兩個數值一般是收縮壓高于舒張壓。血管內的異常血壓升高叫做高血壓。當分別在三個部位測得的血壓高于收縮壓140mmHg、舒張壓90mmHg時，高血壓診斷成立。
Hypertension is linked with many medical conditions such as atherosclerosis, congestive heart failure, stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage, to name a few. If left untreated, hypertension can seriously damage the heart and blood vessels. The good news is that patients with hypertension can usually control their disease with medication and with changes to diet and lifestyle.
高血壓跟一些疾病有關，比如動脈粥樣硬化，充血性心力衰竭，中風，心臟病，腎臟損害，舉幾個例子。如果不治療高血壓，它會嚴重損害心臟和血管。好消息就是現在高血壓患者可以通過藥物治療和改變飲食和生活習慣控制高血壓。
