sistolik
Sistolik, or systolic pressure, refers to the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and pumps blood. It is the higher number in a blood pressure reading, typically expressed in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). For example, in a reading of 120/80 mmHg, 120 represents the systolic pressure.
This measurement is crucial for assessing cardiovascular health. High systolic pressure can indicate conditions like hypertension, which may lead to serious health issues such as heart disease or stroke. Regular monitoring of systolic pressure helps in maintaining overall health and preventing complications.
