Normal range for diastolic and systolic blood preassure diastolic 110 for systolic 71?
The systolic number is always higher than the diastolic number. 120 or lower for systolic number and 80 or lower for diastolic is in normal range. If diastolic is high, say 95 after running - is ita high? and if what should one do?
What is more dangerous high diastolic or high systolic?
Having a high systolic bp is more dangerous than high diastolic bp.
High systolic low diastolic?
"Normal" blood pressure is somewhere between 90/60 and 140/90. Systolic - the top number Diastolic - the bottom number Systolic pressure is when the heart is contracted and squeezing blood out of the heart. Diastolic pressure is when the heart is relaxed and letting blood flow into the heart.
What are normal values for blood pressure measurement?
Normal blood pressure levels are around 120 systolic and 70 diastolic. But the safe zone starts at 90 (low normal) up to 140 (high normal) on the systolic and 60 (low normal) up to 90 (borderline) with the diastolic. Much of it also depends on the individual and their height and weight as well.
What is a normal blood pressure for a 6 foot 4 inch man weighing 230 pounds?
I found this on http://healthfullife.umdnj.edu - Optimum blood pressure - less than 120 millimeters of mercury systolic and less than 80 millimeters of mercury diastolic - Normal blood pressure - 120 to 129 millimeters of mercury systolic, 80 to 84 millimeters of mercury diastolic - High normal - 130 to 139 millimeters of mercury systolic, 85 to 89 millimeters of mercury diastolic
What causes a high diastolic but low systolic reading?
When a person is evaluated for high blood pressure), 2 values are recorded: systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Systolic (the higher number) is the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts; diastolic (the lower number) is the pressure when the heart rests between contractions. A blood pressure reading is recorded as systolic /diastolic pressure, or "systolic over diastolic." Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). An example of how to read a blood pressure measurement is "120 mmHg/80 mmHg" or "120 over 80." High blood pressure in adults is defined as having either a systolic pressure of 140 mmHg or more, or having a diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg or more. In some people with high blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic pressures are high. However, older people often have a higher systolic pressure with a normal. This condition is called isolated systolic hypertension, which is still considered high blood pressure. In older adults because the arteries reduce in elasticity, they do not expand as easily causing an increase in the systolic blood pressure (Imagine the same quantity of blood flowing through a vessel that doesn't expand. It gets really crammed in there causing systolic blood pressure to increase). But because diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure exerted on the arteries during diastole, there isn't much distension and contraction of the arteries. Thus, reduced elasticity does not effect diastolic pressure causing a normal blood pressure reading.
What is the pressure in the arteries during relaxation of the ventricles called?
Blood can only enter an artery, be it the aorta, when the left ventricle contracts, or the pulmonary arteries, when the right ventricle contracts, which both occur at the same time after ventricular systole which is contraction. Therefore, the answer is contract.
Which reading if high should you be more concerned with systolic or diastolic pressure?
They look at the diastolic (smaller number) when checking for high blood pressure.
What is good systolic pressure?
The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 122/76 (122 over 76); systolic = 122, diastolic = 76. Blood pressure of less than 140 over 90 is considered a normal reading for adults. A systolic pressure of 130 to 139 or a diastolic pressure of 85 to 89 needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading equal to or greater than 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic) is considered elevated (high).
Is it possible to have a very high systolic pressure and a very low diastolic pressure?
No.
What is is hypertension?
High Blood Pressure "Hyper" is High "Hypo" is Low Tension is Blood Pressure Hyper would be anything over 150 systolic and 90 diastolic Hypo would be anything lower than 100 systolic top number systolic, bottom diastolic
