 E. Reading Exercise

Blood Pressure
There are two types of blood pressure refers to the presurre inside your arteries when your heart
is pumping; diastolic presurre inside is the pressure inside your arteries when your heart is resting
between beats. When your arteries are healthy and dilated, blood pressure rises, the heart get
overworked, and arteries can become damaged.
Blood pressure is measured with an instrument called a sphygmomanometer. First, a cuff is
placed around your arm and inflated with a pump until the circulation is cut off. A small valve
slowly deflates the cuff, and doctor measuring blood pressure uses a stethoscope, placed over your
arm, to listen for the sound of blood pulsing through the arteries. That first sound of rushing blood
refresh to the systolic blood pressure; once the sound fades, the second number indicates the
diastolic pressure of your heart at rest.
 Blood pressure is measurred in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and recorded with the
systolic number first, followed by the diastolic number. For exampel, a normal blood pressure
would be recorded as something under 120/80 mmHg.
Blood pressure readings can be affected by factor like
• Smoking
• Coffe or other caffeinated drinks
• A full bladder
• Recent physical activity
Blood pressure is also affected by your emotional state and the time of day. Since so many
factors can affect blood pressure readings, you should have your blood pressure taken several
times to get an accurate maesurament.
 Tekanan darah
Ada dua jenis tekanan darah yang mengacu pada tekanan di dalam arteri anda
saat jantung anda memompa; tekanan diastolik adalah tekanan di dalam arteri anda
saat jantung anda beristirahat diantara detak jantung. Ketika arteri anda sehat dan
melebar, tekanan darah naik, jantung bekerja terlalu keras, dan arteri bisa rusak.
Tekanan darah diukur dengan alat yang disebut sphygmomanometer. Pertama,
manset ditempatkan di sekitar lengan anda dan dipompa dengan pompa sampai
sirkulasi terputus. Katup kecil perlahan-lahan mengempiskan manset, dan dokter
yang mengukur tekanan darah menggunakan stetoskop, diletakkan di atas lengan
anda, untuk mendengarkan suara darah yang berdenyut melalui arteri. Suara pertama
darah yang deras menyegarkan kembali tekanan darah sistolik; setelah suara
memudr, angka kedua menunjukkan tekanan diastolik perapian anda saat istirahat.
 Tekanan darah diukur dalam milimeter merkuri (mmHg) dan dicatat dengan angka sistolik
terlebih dahulu, diikuti dengan angka diastolik. Misalnya, tekanan darah normal akan tercatat
dibawah 120/80 mmHg.
Pembacaan tekanan darah dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor seperti:
- Merokok
- Kopi atau minuman berkafein lainnya
- Kandung kemih penuh
- Aktivitas baru-baru ini
Tekanan darah juga dipengaruhi oleh keadaan emosi anda dan waktu anda. Karena begitu
banyak faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi pembacaan tekanan darah, anda harus memeriksakan
tekanan darah anda beberapa kali untuk medapatkan hasil yang akurat.
