High systolic low diastolic?
"Normal" blood pressure is somewhere between 90/60 and 140/90. Systolic - the top number Diastolic - the bottom number Systolic pressure is when the heart is contracted and squeezing blood out of the heart. Diastolic pressure is when the heart is relaxed and letting blood flow into the heart.
Why does any increase in the heart rate affect diastolic time more than systolic time?
You have long diastolic time as compared to systolic time. So diastolic time is more compromised than systolic time.
What is it called when your heart contracts and relaxes?
Diastolic and systolic is when your heart contracts and relaxes.
What is systalic and diastalic?
Systolic and diastolic refer to the two phases of blood pressure in the cardiovascular system. Systolic pressure is the force of blood against the artery walls when the heart beats and pumps blood, while diastolic pressure is the force during the resting phase between heartbeats when the heart fills with blood. Blood pressure is typically expressed as systolic over diastolic, such as 120/80 mmHg. These measurements are crucial for assessing cardiovascular health.
If your blood pressure reads 128.58?
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.
Define systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
Blood Pressure: The force at which blood flows through the arteries in the body. Systolic: Refers to the pressure on the arteries as the heart contracts (squeezes). Diastolic: Refers to the pressure on the vessels as the heart relaxes.
What does it mean when systolic and diastolic pressures are close together?
Your heart is about to explode and you die
When the heart is contracted this corelates to which number in the blood pressure?
systolic and diastolic
What is the difference from systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure?
Systolic (the higher number) is a reading of the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart is beating at its maximum strength. Diastolic (the lower number) tells you what the pressure is in your blood vessels when your heart is at rest.
The difference between systolic and diastolic pressures?
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.
What does the high number of blood pressure stand for?
The larger of the two numbers in a blood pressure reading is the "systolic" reading. The lower number is the "diastolic." The systolic reading measures how hard the heart pumps when it contracts; whereas the diastolic reads the pressure when the heart relaxes.
What are the 2 numbers that make up blood pressure called?
The upper number is called the systolic, and is the pressure of how hard your heart is pumping. The lower number is the diastolic, and is how much the pressure is when your heart is relaxing between pumps.
