Arteries10
- These nerve impulses cause the arteries to constrict and hinder the flow of blood, which causes the heart to pump blood with more effort. (highbloodpressuremed.com)
- The arteries become rough from inside and blood pressure increases. (highbloodpressuremed.com)
- The turbulent flow of blood, can cause it to clot and can block the small arteries, adding to the troubles of the patient. (highbloodpressuremed.com)
- As the heart pumps blood around the body, the blood exerts a force on the walls of the arteries and other blood vessels as it flows through them. (ihealthdirectory.com)

Systolic9
- It is not clear if blood pressure drugs help in case that your blood pressure is mildly increased (140-159 systolic and/or 90-99 diastolic) because the potential benefits are less than the risk of side effects. (highbloodpressure411.com)
