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.
Is diastolic pressure equal to heart rate?
Systolic blood pressure is when the left ventricle contracts (first number), diastolic pressure is when the left ventricle relaxes (second number).
What are the two readings that are taken to find out blood pressure?
The two reading notes on a blood pressure reading is systolic and diastolic. Systolic reads the pressure in the arteries when the heart muscle beats or contracts. Diastolic reads the pressure in the arteries between beats or contractions.
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.
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
What does it mean if you have really really really LOW blood pressure?
it means the pressure in your arteries is low when the heart is at rest (b/w beats); pt is considered hypotensive if diastolic is below 60
Is there more of a concern when the diastolic blood pressure is higher than 80?
Yes. The diastolic pressure represents to hearts ability to rest in between beats. A high number is 90 or higher.
Are the systolic blood pressure pumping pressure?
Yes. The systolic is the pressure exerted against the artey walls when the heart beats.
Where can you measure blood presssure?
Blood pressure is is sometimes called arterial blood pressure. It is caused by circulating blood on the walls of arteries. When the heart beats, it does not have a constant pressure. It rests slightly in between beats. There is a maximum called systolic and a minimum called diastolic. The pressure is measured in the upper arm at the brachial artery. The BP is expressed in systolic pressure over diastolic pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and normal blood pressure for an adult is 120/80.

Blood pressure that remains between heart contractions?
Diastolic Blood Pressure
What is normal Diastolic blood pressure?
A normal diastolic blood pressure is generally considered to be less than 80 mmHg. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is at rest between beats. High diastolic blood pressure can be a sign of underlying health issues, such as hypertension.
