Hypertension is hypertension. Pulse is the power of blood pushing against the dividers of supply routes as it courses through them. Corridors are the veins that convey oxygenated blood from the heart to the body's tissues. Pulse is dictated by the measure of blood your heart pumps and the measure of imperviousness to blood stream in your supply routes. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your conduits, the higher your circulatory strain.
