Answer #1

Ans) A rise in blood pressure, where the systolic pressure is higher than 180 or the diastolic pressure reaches 110 or more, should also be referred to a doctor. Blood pressure in this range puts people at greater risk of having a heart attack.

- After acute coronary syndrome, a J- or U-shaped curve association existed between BP and the risk of future cardiovascular events, with lowest event rates in the BP range of approximately 130 to 140 mm Hg systolic and 80 to 90 mm Hg diastolic and a relatively flat curve for systolic pressures of 110 to 130 mm Hg and diastolic pressures of 70 to 90 mm Hg, which suggests that too low of a pressure (especially <110/70 mm Hg) may be dangerous.

- Low blood pressure during a heart attack can be due to a few factors: Your heart pumps less blood because its tissue is damaged: During a heart attack, blood flow to your heart is blocked or cut off completely. It causes a drop in blood pressure and can lead to fainting.
