When taking blood pressure there are two readings, eg 120/70. The first reading (120) is the systolic blood pressure and the second reading (70) is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure is always higher than the diastolic.
The systolic reading is when the heart muscle is contracting, pushing blood through the arteries, therefore creating more pressure (hence the higher number) in the arteries.
The diastolic reading is when the heart is relaxed and refilling with blood, ready for the next beat, therefore exerting less pressure on the arteries (hence the lower number)
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.
The disappearance of sound is caused by blood flowing freely. The blood flows freely because there is no constricted artery.

It is Systolic,Pulse,and dystolic.
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.
When you are getting the doctor to take your blood pressure the readings are called: dystolic/systolic 120/80
NO. Systolic and diastolic represents pressure against the arterial walls. 120/80
It means see your doctor! Under 60 BPM is really low for a pulse, and your blood pressure is really low as well. Systolic shouldn't be under 100, diastolic is normally 80.
120/80 is average but systolic and dystolic the two numbers can be plus or minus ten and still be normal.
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.
it is systolic I remember it by Lub-Dub like clapping your hands.
systolic
Top number is the systolic. For example 120/80 120 would be your systolic number.
The blood-pressure numbers are in units of mm-Hg. That's the pressure at the bottom of a column of mercury that's that many millimeters tall. For a comparison, a typical healthy systolic pressure may be 120. On exactly the same scale and in the same units, the Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 . If your blood pressure were 760, it wouldn't be for long, because you would most likely explode.
your diastolic bp, briefly, is your heart intake bp, the lower number, which should be +- 80.
