If you are wondering what blood pressure is measured in its Millimeters of Mercury or mmHg cubed. Looks like this 120/80 mmHg
You have long diastolic time as compared to systolic time. So diastolic time is more compromised than systolic time.
The first number recorded in a blood pressure measurement is the systolic pressure and represents the peak pressure generated by cardiac contraction. The second number is the diastolic pressure and represents the intravascular pressure during relaxation of the heart while it is filling. The difference between these two measurements is called the pulse pressure. So, for a normal BP reading of 120/80, there would be a normal pulse pressure of 40.
systolic/diastolic measured by blood pressure cuff
PP= SP - DS Pulse Pressure is equal to Systolic Blood Pressure minus Diastolic Blood Pressure.
My doctor says this in within the normal range. We've been working on getting my diastolic down from 110. The normal range is 60-80. My systolic reading has been around 157 - but she didn't seem quite as worried at this reading. With a little adjustment in my medication 2 weeks ago; this morning it read 132.
it is systolic I remember it by Lub-Dub like clapping your hands.
systolic
Blood pressure measurements are a combination of the systolic and diastolic pressure. Ideally, blood pressure should be under 120 in the systolic measurement and 80 in the diastolic measurement, commonly notated as 120 over 80.
Diastolic is associated with blood pressure. It's the measurement of pressure in the artery when your heart is at rest. Dystolic is a common misspelling.
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.
Systolic and Diastolic pressure measurements are taken. Systolic is the higher pressure measurement, when the heart ventricles are contracted, and Diastolic is the lower pressure when the ventricles are filling. So if somebody's blood pressure is 120/80, then 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure
what's the difference between systolic and diastolic
2 numbers. Systolic/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.
