Medicine for people with low blood pressure

Low blood pressure is blood pressure that is always lower than the majority of normal people of the same age. Systolic blood pressure less than 100mmHg is considered low blood pressure. Low blood pressure is mainly affected by two factors, cardiac output and peripheral resistance. Cardiac output depends on the contraction of the heart muscle, mainly the contraction function of the left ventricle, and peripheral resistance also depends mainly on the elasticity of the blood vessel wall.
