How much the systolic and diastolic pressure should be for a normal man?
Resting blood pressure for a male (optimum) is 120/70. It will be elevated after exercise or a stressful event.
Where will one find diastolic blood pressure on a meter?
Blood pressure has both diastolic and systolic readings on a meter. The expected readings of a healthy individual are below 120 for systolic and under 80 for diastolic. Diastolic measures the resting moments between beats while the systolic measures the beat. On the meter, systolic is the upper number and diastolic is the lower one.
What is the difference in systolic and diastolic pressure is it resting pressure or pulse pressure?
The systolic blood pressure or number represents the pressure in the artery when the heart contracts and pushes out the pure or oxygenated blood to the body. The diastolic pressure or number represents the pressure in the vein when the heart is in the relaxation phase and blood from the organs flows back into the heart for purification. I hope it is clear
What is the proper name of the blood pressure's bottom number?
It is the diastolic pressure. It is the pressure on the walls of the arteries when the heart is resting.
What do the 2 numbers in blood pressure represent?
The first number in a blood pressure reading is the systolic blood pressure. It represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is contracting. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure when the heart is relaxing.
What is resting blood pressure?
Resting Blood Pressure: Diastolic (blood filling into atrium of heart) is the top number Systolic (blood pumping from atrium into ventricles of heart) is the bottom number
How can i Distinguish between diastolic and systolic?
Systolic blood pressure: is the pressure of blood flowing through the arteries every time the heart contracts. When the heart contracts (squeezes blood out of the heart) it is known as systole. Diastolic blood pressure: is your blood pressure when your heart is relaxed (resting time between each heart beat). This is known as diastolic. Hope this helped:-)
What is the medical term meaning pressure against the arterial walls when the heart is at rest?
Blood pressure (abbreviated BP) is the pressure of blood against the walls of a vessel. The rhythmic beating nature of that pressure, caused by the alternating ventricular contraction and relaxation in the heart, is the pulse (abbreviated P).Blood pressure has two values - the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure.When the heart beats, it pushes blood through the arteries to all of the tissues in the body. It is at this point that the pressure from the blood against the artery walls is at its highest and this value is the systolic blood pressure.When the heart is at rest, in between beats, the pressure on the artery walls is much lower and this value is known as the diastolic blood pressure.blood pressure
What does Sys mmhg and DIA mmhg mean on the blood pressure reading?
The Systolic number is the force of the blood on the artery walls as the heart contracts. The Diastolic is the pressure when the heart is resting in between beats. The mmhg is how the pressure is measured, which is in millimeters of mercury.
The difference between systolic and diastolic pressures?
Systolic BP should always be higher than diastolic BP.The number on the top is the systolic blood pressure and the number on the bottom is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic BP is the pressure in the arteries right when the blood is pumped out of the heart, therefore the pressure is bigger. The diastolic BP is the pressure in the arteries after the blood has been pumped out and before the next heart contraction. At this moment, the heart is relaxed and the pressure is much lower.
How do you determine Morning Resting Heart Rate?
Its the difference between your systolic and diastolic readiing.
Who would have a higher pulse pressure a resting athlete or a resting person who never exercise?
A person who has never exercised before would have a higher heart rate and blood pressure than an ahlete at rest. A athlete could have a heart rate below 60 BPM becauses they have a stronger and healthy heartEdit to add: Uhh ... While all of this may be true, the question is asking about a higher pulse pressure. Pulse pressure refers to the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. Due primarily to decreases in the diastolic pressure observed in athletes, a resting athlete will have the higher *PULSE PRESSURE*.
