Describe the normal ranges for each type of blood pressure measurement?
Blood pressure measurements are a combination of the systolic and diastolic pressure. Ideally, blood pressure should be under 120 in the systolic measurement and 80 in the diastolic measurement, commonly notated as 120 over 80.
What measurements are taken when determining a person's blood pressure?
Systolic and Diastolic pressure measurements are taken. Systolic is the higher pressure measurement, when the heart ventricles are contracted, and Diastolic is the lower pressure when the ventricles are filling. So if somebody's blood pressure is 120/80, then 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure
If a patient has a systolic blood pressure of 120 millimeters of mercury what is the complete unit of this measurement?
The complete unit of measurement for blood pressure, including a systolic reading of 120 millimeters of mercury, is expressed as mmHg. This unit indicates the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries, with "mm" representing millimeters and "Hg" standing for mercury, which is the substance historically used in barometers and sphygmomanometers.
Is 123 over 76 an acceptable blood pressure measurement for a 75 year old male?
Normal blood pressure for anyone is 120/80, so you're right in there, yes.
What is the measurement between systolic and diastolic?
The measurement between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called pulse pressure. It is calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. Typically, a healthy pulse pressure is around 40 mmHg, but this can vary depending on individual factors.
How does blood pressure effect blood pressure And what number is sount for the high blood pressure . hurry ...?
A blood pressure measures the amount of pressure on your arteries when your heart is pumping and contracting blood. There are two measurements. One is the diastolic. The diastolic is the measurement of the pressure on your arteries when your heart is relaxed. This number should be low, in between 50 and 90. It is the bottom number in the ratio. The systolic measurement is the top number in the ratio. The systolic measurement is the amount of pressure on the arteries when the heart is beating or contracted. This number should be between 100 and 150. The text book normal blood pressure is 120/80=S/D. hope that helps.
What is the avgerage blood pressure for a healthy adult?
the normal blood pressure in a young adult is 120/80
is 120 over 70 and good blood pressure range?
is 120 over 70 a good blood pressure range
What should human blood pressure be?
Ideally, we should all have a blood pressure below 120 over 80 (120/80). This is the ideal blood pressure for people wishing to have good health. At this level, we have a much lower risk of heart disease or stroke.
What does BP 80P mean?
BP 80P typically refers to a specific type of blood pressure measurement, indicating a reading of 80 mmHg for diastolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. The "BP" stands for blood pressure, while "80P" signifies the diastolic value. In a complete blood pressure reading, it would usually be accompanied by a systolic value, such as "120/80 mmHg," where 120 represents the systolic pressure.
Why blood pressure is expressed with two number?
When a blood vessel (like an elastic pipe) is empty there is no pressure on its wall. When there is blood flowing in a blood vessel it exerts pressure on the walls of the blood vessel (pipe). This is the basal pressure called the Diastolic pressure (The lower of the two numbers). When the heart pumps blood it drives the blood with force and this exerts higher pressure on the walls of the blood vessel. This is called the Systolic pressure, the higher number in the blood pressure measurement. Thus, Blood Pressure of 120/70 means the systolic pressure is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 70.
What is the normal pressure of blood?
Normal blood pressure in an adult would be 120/80
