Blood pressure is determined by the rate of your systolic pressure and your diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure measures pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, and the diastolic pressure measures pressure in the arteries between heartbeats. Causes of hypertension vary and can be attributed to a number of factors, including lifestyle, genes and existing medical conditions.
