Choose a preferred language

Tener una presión arterial normal es importante para estar sana. Es fundamental para que su corazón, sus arterias y sus venas funcionen bien. También es un factor clave para tener un embarazo saludable. La presión arterial controla la cantidad correcta de sangre que fluye hacia la placenta. Ésta es el tejido especial que se desarrolla en su vientre cuando está embarazada. Le da a su bebé la cantidad correcta de oxígeno y nutrientes a través del cordón umbilical para que crezca con normalidad.
