Systolic pressure

The maximum blood pressure when the heart contracts

Electrocardiograms

The measure of the electrical activity of the heart

Metastasis

Blood pressure is also called

The silent killer

Treating diabetes

Uncomfortable pressure squeezing or pain the the center of chest for more then a couple of mins Pain spreading to shoulders neck and arms Chest pain along with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea and shortness of breath

Chemotherapy

Radiation therapy

Using radiation to target and kill cracker cells

What are some controllable risk factors for lifestyle diseases

Your diet and body weight Your physical activity Levels of sun exposure Smoking and Alchol abuse
