The difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure is called the?
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.
Does your pulse represent the pressure that blood exerts as it pushes the walls of a vein?
no, it represents the pressure exeted on the arteries
What is pulse pressure?
Pulse pressure is the pressure that is felt when feeling the pulse. Measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), the pressure difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures is the pressure change to create the pulse, which is the pulse pressure.
What is the difference in systolic and diastolic pressure is it resting pressure or pulse pressure?
The systolic blood pressure or number represents the pressure in the artery when the heart contracts and pushes out the pure or oxygenated blood to the body. The diastolic pressure or number represents the pressure in the vein when the heart is in the relaxation phase and blood from the organs flows back into the heart for purification. I hope it is clear
Pulse pressure Is a blood pressure reading of 177 over 65 a pulse rate of 66 and a pulse pressure of 112 a problem?
terrible
How do you calculate pulse pressure?
PP= SP - DS Pulse Pressure is equal to Systolic Blood Pressure minus Diastolic Blood Pressure.
A pulse of positive voltage represents what?
1
How do you determine a person's diastolic blood pressure?
MAP=diastolic pressure+(pulse pressure/3) so... MAP - (pulse pressure/3)= diastolic pressure
If systoic pressure is 112 and diastolic pressure is 80 what is the pulse pressure?
A blood pressure of 107/74 and pulse of 80 is within normal limits (WNL).
What is the systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure?
pulse pressure
What effect will a allergic reaction have on blood pressure and pulse?
high blood pressure and low pulse rate
A digital signal composed of a pulse of positive voltage represents a what?
A pulse is just a pulse. Its meaning depends on context and the design of the system.
