Male 5ft11in your blood pressure is108-57-49 is this to low?
A correct blood pressure reading consists of 2 index numbers, namely a systolic, and a diastolic number. Your diastolic number(s) seem pretty low, especially for a systolic of 108, and a bad reading is suspected.
If a palpated bp is 60P what is the diastolic reading?
Obviously below sixty, but it is not possible to gauge diastolic pressure by palpation.
What is the meaning of a diastolic reading of 65?
This would be within the normal range for an adult diastolic resting blood pressure.
Another term for the lower blood pressure reading?
Diastolic
Which reading if high should you be more concerned with systolic or diastolic pressure?
They look at the diastolic (smaller number) when checking for high blood pressure.
Can a diastolic blood preasure reading be zero with a systolic of 110?
In many pregnant women, the 4th phase karatkoff sound is audible even though there is no pressure in the cuff. Hence, this leads to a 5th phase karatkoff sound (diastolic pressure reading) of 0. So yes, a systolic reading of 110 and a diastolic of 0 is possible - an example would be in pregnancy.
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 is more dangerous high diastolic or high systolic?
Both high diastolic and high systolic blood pressure are dangerous and can contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. High systolic pressure is typically associated with a higher risk of heart attack and stroke, while high diastolic pressure can also lead to organ damage, such as in the kidneys. It is important to monitor and manage both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels to reduce the risk of complications.
Is a blood pressure of 9550 dangerous?
9550 millibars would be a dangerous number for either systolic or diastolic. Borderline high blood pressure begins at around 4400 millibars for systolic (usually the first number) and around 3000 diastolic (typically second number. Usually the diastolic is the more critical number.
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.
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 is dystolic and cystolic?
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.
