Blood pressure measurement has two components: systolic and diastolic. Systolic

when the heart is resting between beats. In the usual blood pressure reading, the systolic
measurement is given first and is the higher of the two.
Normal blood pressure is a systolic measurement of 140, and when the systolic pressure
is 160 or higher, then hypertension exists. Systolic pressure between 140 and 160
indicates borderline hypertension.
