Monitoring your Blood Pressure

Hypertension is a common clinical problem and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Elevated heart rate is associated with elevated blood pressure, increased risk for hypertension, and, among hypertensives, increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Monitoring your blood pressure could be a matter of life or death! Pictured, LaKyrah Loredo, Blaze Johnson, and Jasmine Wasden, three BCHS students who are hands-on learning as they practice taking each other's blood pressure during Healthcare class.
