Blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and expressed as systolic over diastolic pressure. It is crucial in clinical practice as it helps assess cardiovascular health, guiding the diagnosis and management of conditions like hypertension, which can lead to serious complications such as stroke or heart failure if left untreated. Regular monitoring is essential for effective patient care.
