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:-)
it is systolic I remember it by Lub-Dub like clapping your hands.
systolic
Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.
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's the difference between systolic and diastolic
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?
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.
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.
You have long diastolic time as compared to systolic time. So diastolic time is more compromised than systolic time.
Its the difference between your systolic and diastolic readiing.
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.
