What is your opinion of blood pressure reading of 124/53 - pulse 61 Thanks?

In my opinion it’s a great blood pressure. the top number or the “Systolic” pressure is the pressure your heart reads when the muscle contracts. the bottom number or the “Diastolic “ Pressure is your heart muscle at rest. FYI 😁


Why is it not possible to obtain diastolic blood pressure using the palpatory method?

The palpatory method of obtaining a blood pressure is when the person taking the blood pressure feels the radial pulse (in the wrist) while pumping up the blood pressure cuff. When the radial pulse disappears, this is the systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted in the arteries when the heart has contracted and is forcing the blood through the arteries - it therefore gives the reading for the maximum blood pressure. When we feel a pulse, we are feeling the blood being forced through the arteries (meaning we only feel the pulse at the maximum pressure which is the same as the systolic blood pressure, allowing us to get a systolic blood pressure from feeling the pulse). The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is relaxed, or the minimum amount of pressure. Because the pressure is lower at this stage, it is not possible to feel the pulse and therefore it is not possible to obtain a diastolic reading using the palpatory method, a stethoscope is required to be able to hear the blood flow rather than feel it.


What is the medical term meaning difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure reading?

Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.


What does a widen pulse pressure indicate?

What is the medical term meaning measuring blood pressure?

Pulse is measured as the number of times a heart beats per minute.


How do you calculate pulse pressure?

Pulse pressure can be calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. For example, if someone's systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg and their diastolic blood pressure is 80 mmHg, their pulse pressure would be 40 mmHg (120 - 80).


Which blood vessel has a pulse?

Arteries have a pulse due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates a pressure wave that can be felt as the pulse in arteries. Veins do not have a pulse as they carry blood back to the heart at a lower pressure.


What effect will a allergic reaction have on blood pressure and pulse?

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.


Is blood pressure 229 over 125 and pulse is 105 is this in stroke and or heart attack area?

blood pressure should be below 120 systolic and 80 diastolic..thats the safe level.. but since ur pulse is high it changes the reading..it depends on what youre doing.. normal adult pulse is 60 to 100...
