Blood pressure was measured according to High blood pressure cardiac cycle. The highest pressure, occurs when the heart contracts, called systolic pressure. The lowest pressure, occurs when the heart relaxes in a phase, called the diastolic pressure. Blood pressure measurement results expressed in systolic and diastolic pressure, for example: 120/80 mmHg. The size of the systolic blood pressure and diastolic are equally useful for determining the type of hypertension that occurs and how to handle it.

Normal blood pressure in adults is under 120/80 mm / Hg. Generally, blood pressure above 140/90 is considered high. Someone just said to have hypertension if the two measurements by the doctor regularly provide blood pressure above 140/90.
Primary and Secondary Hypertension

In general, high blood pressure are classified according to the cause. High blood pressure is not known why is called primary or essential hypertension. Hypertension is usually associated with genes or are descendants. Approximately 90-95 percent of cases of high blood pressure is the primary. High blood pressure caused by disease or other condition is called secondary hypertension. For example, renovaskuler hypertension caused by kidney disease.
Dangers of high blood pressure

High blood pressure is a dangerous condition. If not managed properly, high blood pressure can eventually cause the heart to work too hard so seriously damaged. For example, the heart muscle may thicken (hypertrophy) and function abnormally or are less powerful pumps. High blood pressure can also cause damage to the brain, eyes and kidneys. In these organs are soft arterial tissue that can be easily damaged by high pressure.

Higher blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, heart failure and stroke. Around half of people who had a heart attack and two-thirds of people affected by stroke is hypertension. In general, high blood pressure can not be cured but can be managed and controlled with diet and medication.
Prevalence

At the age below 55 years, hypertension affects more men. After menopause (which usually occurs at the age of 50), the risk of hypertension in women increased, mainly due to decrease in certain hormones. At age 75, hypertension diidap more women than men.

During pregnancy, some women may be exposed to high blood pressure, even when previously they did not have it. Gestational hypertension is believed to increase the risk of high blood pressure and stroke in these women in old age. Pre-eklamsia, conditions associated with high blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine of pregnant women, is one of the main causes of maternal mortality and infant in Indonesia.
The signs and symptoms

Most people with high blood is generally not aware of his presence. If there are symptoms, hypertension patients may feel the following complaints:

* Fatigue
* Confused
* Stomach nausea
* Vision problems
* Excessive Perspiration
* Pale or red skin
* Nosebleed
* Anxious or nervous
* Loud heartbeat or irregular (palpation)
* The voice ringing in the ears
* Erectile dysfunction
* Headache
* Dizziness

Medical

Treatment of high blood pressure is highly dependent on the severity and causes. Patients with primary hypertension with blood pressure above 140/90 may be a controller medication. Your doctor also may recommend lifestyle changes to control blood pressure, including:

* Stop smoking. In addition to various other health problems, smoking also raises blood pressure.
* Losing weight. Weight reduction can quickly reduce high blood pressure and ease the work of the heart.
* Taking vitamins and minerals in sufficient quantities. Research shows vitamin C useful to keep the arteries stay flexible. Vitamin E, B, potassium, magnesium and calcium is also useful to keep blood pressure.
* Aerobic Exercise regularly. Regularity of exercise is more important than the intencity. Excessive exercise can be dangerous for your heart health. Ask your doctor before you start sports activities.
* Reduce salt intake to a maximum of only 2 grams per day.
* Managing emotions to reduce stress, relax, pursue hobbies, social activities and adequate rest.

This twelve risk factors for coronary heart disease or heart attack. The first four factors you can not control, while the remaining eight you can control.
Age
More than 83% of people who die from coronary heart disease aged 65 years and over. Elderly women at higher risk of a heart attack within a few weeks after the attacks than men.
Male
Men are more at risk of heart attack than women and experience at a younger age. After menopause, female mortality due to heart attacks increased, but still not as sharp as the increase in men.
Family history
Those who have a family history or a close relative of heart disease tend to be more risky virus.
Ras
Certain ethnic groups have a higher risk than others. Black race, mexico, India, and Asia are at risk of heart disease is higher than the white race.
Smoking
Smoking increases the risk of heart disease two to four times.
High Cholesterol
The risk of coronary heart disease increased with increasing blood cholesterol levels: a LDL ( “bad cholesterol”) high and HDL ( “good cholesterol”) is low.
High blood pressure
High blood pressure increases the heart load, makes the heart thicken and stiffen, and increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and heart failure. When high blood pressure accompanied by obesity, smoking, high cholesterol or diabetes, the risk of heart attack meingkat many times over.
Sedentary lifestyle
Less moving body increases the risk of coronary heart disease.
Overweight
People who are overweight (more than 20% ideal body weight) tended to risk of heart disease and stroke, even if they do not have other risk factors.
Diabetes
Having diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. About three-quarters of people with diabetes die from heart disease or type of blood vessels.
Stress and Anger
Stress and anger are not well controlled can cause heart attacks and strokes.
Drinking alcohol
Many drinking alcohol can increase blood pressure, cause heart failure and stroke. Drinking alcohol can also increase triglycerides, cancer, and cause irregular heartbeat.

Myth # 1 Cholesterol Bad For Health
The first myth we often hear is that cholesterol is bad for health. That’s not true. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that has many benefits. Our bodies use it to form cell membranes and walls of the nerve. Cholesterol is the main substance in the formation of hormones. Without cholesterol, we will not be able to maintain levels of testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and cortisol.

Too little cholesterol and even harmful to the body. People who have low cholesterol because the risk of aging actually died.

Myth # 2 Increased Cholesterol Rich Foods for Cholesterol Eating
The second myth is that eating foods rich in cholesterol harmful to us. That’s not exactly true. Approximately 80 percent of blood cholesterol is the body’s production, and only 20 percent of which comes from food. Maybe you eat foods rich in cholesterol, but your blood cholesterol levels remain low. This is because when eating foods rich in cholesterol, your body will decrease the internal production in the liver. Conversely, when you eat foods that are low in cholesterol so your body will increase the production of cholesterol.

So, eating cholesterol-rich foods like red meat, shrimp and quail eggs are not automatically harm the body. However, if your blood cholesterol level is high, it should these foods be avoided so as not to aggravate your condition.

Myth # 3 Cholesterol is the only one Cause Artery Plaque

Besides cholesterol, there is a kind of amino acid called homocysteine which are equally responsible for arterial plaque. This acid is a byproduct of processing proteins circulating in the arteries forming a small notch notch-attach the cholesterol molecule. When one molecule of cholesterol is attached to the notch, the rest will come attached to form a plaque. Folic acid in green vegetables mengurangai homocysteine levels reduces the risk of coronary heart disease decreases.

koronerArteri Coronary heart is in the blood vessels supplying the heart that serves food for the heart cells. Coronary heart disease occurs when coronary arteries are blocked or narrowed due to fatty deposits, which gradually accumulate in the arterial wall. Accumulation process is called atherosclerosis, and can occur in other arteries, not only in coronary arteries.

Lack of blood supply due to narrowing of the coronary arteries cause chest pain called angina, which usually occurs during physical activity or experiencing stress. If the blood does not flow at all because of blocked coronary arteries, the patient may experience a fatal heart attack. A heart attack can occur anytime, even when you’re resting.

Coronary heart disease can also cause the weakened heart pump blood does not circulate so perfectly to the body (heart failure). Patients with heart failure will be difficult to breathe because his lungs filled with fluid, feeling very tired, and swelling in the feet and joints.

Risk Factors

* High Cholesterol.

The cause of coronary heart disease is the deposition of fat in the coronary artery wall, which consists of cholesterol and other wastes. To reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, you have to keep cholesterol levels in the blood. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that naturally complex by the body and are beneficial to the formation of cell walls and hormones. Two-thirds of cholesterol is produced by the liver (liver), another third obtained directly from food. Cholesterol in the blood circulation through molecules called lipoproteins. There are two types of lipoproteins, namely low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

LDL carries cholesterol from the liver to body cells. HDL function by contrast, carry excess cholesterol to the liver to be processed and thrown out. Excess LDL cholesterol can cause buildup on artery walls, so-called ‘bad cholesterol’. The optimal LDL cholesterol is 100 to 129 mg / dL. Excess LDL cholesterol lead to ‘overwhelmed’ remove excess cholesterol. The recommended total cholesterol (HDL + LDL) was below 200 mg / dL (border line = 240).

* Blood Pressure / Hypertension.

High blood pressure increase heart work so that the heart wall thickening / rigid and increases the risk of coronary heart disease.

There are two blood pressure measurements. Systolic blood pressure that emanates from the heart throughout the body. Diastolic pressure is blood pressure returned to fill the heart. In general, people said to have hypertension if the systolic blood pressure / diastoliknya above 140/90 mmHg.

* Thrombosis.

Thrombosis is a blood clot in an artery or vein. When thrombosis occurs in the coronary arteries, then you run the risk of coronary heart disease. Thrombosis is usually located on the vessel wall thickening due to atherosclerosis. Smoking increases the risk of thrombosis up to several times.

* Obesity.

Overweight (obesity) increases the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes. People who are overweight also tend to have low HDL / high LDL.

* Diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes increases the risk of coronary heart disease, especially when blood sugar levels are not controlled properly. Two-thirds of diabetics die of heart disease and other cardiovascular problems.

* Aging.

Risk of coronary heart disease increased with age. Growing older, diminishing the effectiveness of the internal organs, including kardiovaskulernya system. More than 80 percent of patients with coronary heart disease over 60 years. Men tend to be more quickly affected than women, the risk is only increased dramatically after menopause.

* Heredity.

Your risk is higher if your parents are also affected by coronary heart disease, especially if you start suffering from the age of less than 60 years.

How to Reduce the Risk

Although not able to resist aging and affects the lineage, you can do the following to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease:

* Reduce consumption of high saturated fatty meats.
* Reproduce eat fruit, vegetables and grains that contain high antioxidant (Vitamins A, C and E). Antioxidants prevent saturated fats into cholesterol.
* Avoid stress. Stress can cause an imbalance of bodily functions, increase blood pressure and make you smoke and eat too much.
* No smoking and excessive drinking coffee.
* Diligent exercise. Aerobic exercise for 30 minutes every day, 3-4 times a week can strengthen the heart, burn fat and keep the balance of HDL and LDL.

prevent infectiuous every year, millions of people around the world died of infectious diseases. Infectious diseases are diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi. Special Hospital Infection Prof Dr Sulianti Saroso infectious diseases recorded some of the most dangerous in Indonesia, among others: antrax, dengue fever, Chikungunya fever, diarrhea, filiariasis, avian influenza, singapore flu, hepatitis, leptospirosis, malaria, pneumonia, polio, SARS, cow crazy, Steven-Johnson Syndrome (respiratory infection), and tuberculosis.
