Question

1. a blood pressure reading of 140/90 suggests that there is 1 poin hypertension high cholesterol high systolic all 7) exercise can only lower your diastolic pressure and not the systolic pressure 1 point true false 8) a _-mmhg reduction in sbp can reduce a heart attack by ____, * 1 point 5/10 10/5 3/10 120

Explanation:

• Question 6: A blood pressure reading of 140/90 is within the hypertension range. High cholesterol is related to lipid levels in the blood, not directly to blood pressure reading. High systolic would be a more general term, but hypertension is the specific diagnosis here.
• Question 7: Exercise can lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Regular physical activity helps in improving vascular function, reducing peripheral resistance (which affects diastolic pressure) and also has an impact on cardiac output and arterial stiffness (affecting systolic pressure).
• Question 8: A 10 - mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) can reduce the risk of heart attack by about 5%. This is based on epidemiological and clinical trial data that shows a direct relationship between blood pressure reduction and cardiovascular event risk reduction.

Answer:

• 6) Hypertension
• 7) False
• 8) 10/5
