Does heart rate affect blood pressure?

Blood pressure is a pressure exerted by the circulating blood on the vessel wall. The blood pressure decreases as it moves towards the small capillaries and arterioles. As the heart rate increases ,the Blood pressure increases. So for the peoples who are having high blood pressure are suggested to exercises under supervision as blood pressure increases during vigorous activity.

Yes, pushti is correct. As blood pressure increase , heart also increase. But measuring heart rate or pulse rate does not indicate high or low blood pressure.

Hi,

The problem with a high heart rate is that it can affect blood pressure readings and produce inaccurate information.
