systolic
The first number would be your systolic, meaning the pressure in the vessels as the heart contracts, then the next number would be t he diastolic, when the heart is at rest. The average blood pressure is around 120 over 90.
First number is systolic, the second number is diastolic.
The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 122/76 (122 over 76); systolic = 122, diastolic = 76. Blood pressure of less than 140 over 90 is considered a normal reading for adults. A systolic pressure of 130 to 139 or a diastolic pressure of 85 to 89 needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading equal to or greater than 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic) is considered elevated (high).
9550 millibars would be a dangerous number for either systolic or diastolic. Borderline high blood pressure begins at around 4400 millibars for systolic (usually the first number) and around 3000 diastolic (typically second number. Usually the diastolic is the more critical number.
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.
A person who is apt in measuring blood pressure using the sphygmomanometer records two numbers. The first one is the systolic blood pressure while the second one is the diastolic 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.
systolic pressure when ventricals are contracting while during diastole they are in relaxed state
The first number is called your systolic blood pressure and the second is called your diastolic. The Systolic is the pressure in your arteries when the ventricles are contracting - so it is the maximum pressure that the heart exerts on the arteries. The diastolic is the pressure when the heart is relaxed - so it is the minimum amount of pressure.
Two numbers are used to represent blood pressure. Systolic pressure (the first and larger number of the equation) is the force that the blood flows from the heart into the arteries. Diastolic pressure (the second and smaller number of the equation) is the force as the heart relaxes, allowing the blood to flow back into the heart.
Ideally ... the first sound is the systolic pressure, and the loudest sound is the diastolic. Note that both are artifacts of turbulence, since smooth flow is soundless.
