Blood Pressure

Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching middle age.
This symptom is a result of continuous ageing of the blood vessels.
Further causes include diabetes, lack of exercise and cholesterol (LDL)
adhering to the blood vessels. Rising blood pressure accelerates
hardening of the arteries, and the body becomes more susceptible to
apoplexy and coronary infarction.
Definitions and Classification of blood pressure levels according to
2007 ESH-ESC Practice Guidelines for the Management of Arterial
Hypertension:

≥ 180 mmHg
Grade 3 hypertension
