A short description of current concepts in the understanding of vascular risk in the cervical spine, with specific reference to cervical arterial dysfunction (CAD). This presentation gives an overview of this 'umbrella term' and relates to the pathologies that fall under it.

20. High blood pressure is a level consistently at or above 140mmHg and/or 90mmHg
Normal adult blood pressure is considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg
A blood pressure reading between 120/80mmHg and 140/90mmHg could mean you're at risk
of developing high blood pressure if you don't take steps to keep your blood pressure under control.
