What does a systolic pressure of 145 over 85 mean in terms of blood pressure?
Pandagirl007
Anything over 140/90 is considered hypertension. Yes, this is something to be concerned about, hypertension is also known as the silent killer. Because most of the time a person has no other symptoms until it is too late. Hypertension can cause damage to your heart, blood vessels, kidneys, brain, and eyes; it can also throw off your blood sugar level if you are a diabetic. Diet and exercise can help also consult with your doctor.

∙ 11y agoIt means you are prone to suffer hypertension: that is the blood pressure when the heart muscle contracts is quite high and you might have difficulty breathing at some point which is risky. The sooner you see the doctor, the better for you.

∙ 15y agoThe first number is systolic blood pressure, a measure of the maximum pressure exerted as the heart contracts. The lower number indicates diastolic pressure, a measurement taken between beats, when the heart is at rest. Numbers under 140/90 and over 90/60 are generally considered normal in adults.

∙ 13y agoIt means that your blood pressure is slightly high. It is not very risky as it is not very high, however. If you can get it down by losing weight/eating healthier/excercising, I'd do so.

∙ 11y ago145/85 is an elevated blood pressure reading. A chronic reading at this level indicates high blood pressure.

∙ 12y ago145 is the systolic pressure followed by the first and second diastolic end points. First diastolic end point is the pressure when the sound muffles, second is when the sound disappears.

Explain the readings for systolic and diastolic pressure that is what is actually happening?
What does the BP numbers mean? 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 does the 3 numbers blood pressure reading mean?
The upper reading is the systolic blood pressure while the lower reading is the diastolic blood pressure. Systole is the contraction of the heart while diastole is the relaxation of the heart.
What does it mean when systolic pressure is high and diastolic is low?
Whereas Systolic pressure means the peak in blood pressure when your heart contracts, Diastolicpressure is the pressure when your heart relaxes, between beats.Low diastolic pressure usually means a low total volume of blood in the vascular system for the heart to pump. The most common causes of this would be dehydration or hemorrhage.
What is the systolic and diastolic?
Systole is the top number of a blood pressure reading. It is the heart contracting forcing blood out. Indicated by the first heart sound. Diastole is the bottom number of a blood pressure reading. It is the heart relaxing bringing blood back in.
What does it mean when your systolic is low?
the systolic blood pressure is the pressure that the contraction of the ventricles have on the arteries, and a low systolic means a low pressure exerted by the ventricles of the heart. A low systolic would be below 90-100 on average but everyone is different. there are many different causes including orthostatic hypotension, which is a low blood pressure when rising from laying or sitting to standing (a common side effect of blood pressure medication and many other medications), heart attack, dehydration, and shock among many other conditions.
How do you calculate mean arterial pressure?
MAP = [ (2 x diastolic) + systolic ] divided by 3.how you calculate
