| 21-25 | 115.5 | 70.5 |
| 26-30 | 113.5 | 71.5 |

What is the American Heart Association’s recommendation for healthy blood pressure levels?
There is enough affirmation that BP levels between 130 to 139/80 to 89 mm Hg cause substantial CVD complications and hence, we should advocate a goal BP of <130/80 mm Hg for most patients with hypertension.
What is the ideal blood pressure goal for heart failure?
For patients who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), we suggest a goal blood pressure of <120 to 125/<80 mmHg (non-routine measurement) or 125 to 130/<80 mmHg (routine measurement). These goals are consistent with those for other patients at high cardiovascular risk.
What is the ideal blood pressure for a 65 year old UK?
As a general guide: high blood pressure is considered to be 140/90mmHg or higher (or 150/90mmHg or higher if you’re over the age of 80) ideal blood pressure is usually considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.
Why does blood pressure increase in heart failure?
So your body doesn’t get enough blood and oxygen. When this occurs, the body believes that there isn’t enough fluid inside its vessels. The body’s hormone and nervous systems try to make up for this by increasing blood pressure, holding on to salt (sodium) and water in the body, and increasing heart rate.
How does heart failure affect blood pressure?
If you have heart failure, there’s a good chance you also have high blood pressure, or “hypertension.” About two-thirds of people whose hearts can’t pump enough blood because of the condition also have high BP or once did. Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart failure.
What is the normal range of blood pressure in adults?
As a general guide: high blood pressure is considered to be 140/90mmHg or higher (or 150/90mmHg or higher if you’re over the age of 80) ideal blood pressure is usually considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.
What does it mean when your blood pressure is 140 over 90?
You’ll be told something like ‘140 over 90’. Systolic pressure: This is the highest level of your blood pressure – when your heart beats and contracts to pump blood through your arteries. Diastolic pressure: This is the lowest level of your blood pressure – when your heart relaxes between beats.
What should my blood pressure be if I have diabetes?
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, your blood pressure should be below 140/90mmHg. If you have heart or circulatory disease, including being told you have coronary heart disease, angina, heart attack or stroke, or have diabetes or kidney disease, then it is usually recommended that your blood pressure should be below 130/80mmHg.
What should my blood pressure be if I have heart disease?
If you have heart or circulatory disease, including being told you have coronary heart disease, angina, heart attack or stroke, or have diabetes or kidney disease, then it is usually recommended that your blood pressure should be below 130/80mmHg.
