pressure against the artery when the heart is relaxing
systolic
Diastolic
The systolic pressure is the upper number, while diastolic is the lower number.His diastolic pressure climbed to 120 in a blood pressure of 220/120.The woman's diastolic blood pressure fell with a large gap between the systolic and diastolic pressures.
it is systolic I remember it by Lub-Dub like clapping your hands.
MAP=diastolic pressure+(pulse pressure/3) so... MAP - (pulse pressure/3)= diastolic pressure
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?
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Diastolic is the period at which your heart is relaxing and your ventricles are dilating (filling with blood).
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.
the difference between aortic diastolic and right atrial diastolic pressure; a determinant of the blood flow to cardiac muscle.
Obviously below sixty, but it is not possible to gauge diastolic pressure by palpation.
This would be within the normal range for an adult diastolic resting blood pressure.
