blood pressure or BP, 120 refers to the amount of pressure produced when the ventricles of the heart contract and 80 refers to the pressure in the blood vessels (normally measured via the brachial artery in the humerus) when the heart is at resting. 120/80 is known as the ideal 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
It is the diastolic pressure. It is the pressure on the walls of the arteries when the heart is resting.
120 over 80
Generally, your resting blood pressure and heart rate should fall.
The blood pressure for children 5-13 is 90 that is the best blood pressure if its higher than that consult a physician
For most adults, your blood pressure should run between 100-160 on top. The bottom number should be between 55-90. Check your blood pressure after resting for at least five minutes, when sitting comfortably with your feet flat on the floor. If your blood pressure is running outside the above range consistently, please follow up with your primary care doctor or local urgent care.
If you mean, what is the lowest blood pressure, then the answer is around 60 in an average person. Blood pressure is relatively consistent through out the body, so the lowest pressure would be seen when the heart is resting (also know as diastolic blood pressure).
110/80
The ideal blood pressure for 40 year old males varies according to activity level. Doctors recommend that blood pressure be lower than 120/80 at almost any age.
Yes. This would be a normal resting blood pressure.
The normal resting pulse pressure is about 30-40 mmhd
