'''Blood pressure''' describes the pressure of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels which is mostly a result of the heart pumping. Typically blood pressure is given through two values: The "systolic pressure" – which is the highest pressure during a heart beat – and the "diastolic pressure" – which is the lowest pressure between two heart beats. Blood pressure is a key vital sign used to evaluate health, alongside [[Tools for heart rate or pulse|heart rate]], [[Body temperature tracking|body temperature]], [[respiratory rate]] and [[oxygen saturation]] <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure</ref>.
