How much the systolic and diastolic pressure should be for a normal man?
Resting blood pressure for a male (optimum) is 120/70. It will be elevated after exercise or a stressful event.
is .. 125 over 59.. high blood pressure ?
High blood pressure is defined as consistentently elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg -- a systolic pressure above 140 with a diastolic pressure above 90.YOur systolic is somewhat elevated,but not high enough to be overly concerned about.
What is the highest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries called?
The upper Blood Pressure Number is the Systolic, Which is the force of blood in your arteries when you heart beats.
Why is the measurement of pulse pressure so important?
Some evidence suggests that pulse pressure is a better predictor of clinical outcome than the systolic or diastolic blood pressure alone. However, using pulse pressure as a clinical predictor or diagnosis tool is complicated because the pulse pressure doesn't provide unique information. Pulse pressure must be calculated from the systolic and diastolic readings. So, saying that someone has an "elevated pulse pressure" is usually the same as saying that they have an "elevated systolic blood pressure," which is already known to be an important clinical finding requiring treatment.
What is good systolic pressure?
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).
What are the changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure during exercise?
The systolic blood pressure changes significantly due to the lactic acid interacting with the ATP withing the bloodstream. During light exercises, such as walking or low weight wieghtlifting, the change is minimal. However, One moderate to high exercise is engaged, the change becomes rapid, increasing at a rate of approximately 5% per minute. It eventually plataues around 25% and then drops quite severly once exercise has ceased. The Diastolic blood pressure however, is almost the complete opposite. There is generally no change within pressure throughout exercise, except when V02 max is reached, initiating a small increase in pressure due to an increase in heart rate. Hope this Helps!
Is blood pressure the pressure of blood in the arteries?
Yes, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on your arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body (systolic) over the pressure when your heart is relaxed (diastolic).
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
The peak blood pressure measured during ventricular systole is called?
Systolic Pressure
Is there a cause for concern if your diastolic blood pressure is elevated at rest and during exercise?
hart beat
What is blood pressure used to evaluate?
Your systole and diastole (or systolic and diastolic pressure). Systolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart pumps out blood while diastolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart is at rest(in between pumps). Blood pressure is stated as systolic pressure/diastolic pressure. The normal BP is 120/80 mmHg.
Is the Systolic pressure is a measure of blood pressure when the ventricles relax and fill with blood?
No. I think the systolic pressure is when ventricles constrict and the blood goes out , while the diastolic pressure is when ventricles relax and fill with blood.
