The 115 is at the moment of contraction [beat] the 75 is the pressure between beats.
taken up; -5 mmHg
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.
Millimetres of mercury (mmHg)
Pre-hypertension is when your blood pressure is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg. You do not have high blood pressure but are considered at risk for hypertension.
Typical human blood pressure is 120/80, or 120 mmHg systolic pressure/80 mmHg diastolic pressure.
Blood pressure is the measure of the force of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels that it is contained in. Blood pressure is usually expressed in mmHg as the systolic pressure divided by the diastolic pressure.
120/80 mmHg
cardiac cycle Normal is less than 120 (mmHg)
As a rule of thumb, If you can palpate a brachial pulse the systolic pressure is at least 60 mmhg. Character of the pulse whether bounding or thready will give additional clues to the approximate blood pressure. If you can palpate a radial pulse the BP is at least 80 mmHg.
Yes. Potential volunteer blood donors are eligible if their Systolic pressure is 180 mmHg or less and Diastolic is 100 mmHg or less. As long as the blood pressure at the time of donation is within acceptable limits, blood pressure medication is of no concern.
the normal blood pressure for a healthy adult would be around 120/80 mmHg
If you are wondering what blood pressure is measured in its Millimeters of Mercury or mmHg cubed. Looks like this 120/80 mmHg
