The systolic number is always higher than the diastolic number. 120 or lower for systolic number and 80 or lower for diastolic is in normal range. If diastolic is high, say 95 after running - is ita high? and if what should one do?
"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.
Systolic under 120, Diastolic below 80
Normal systolic from 121-147 Normal diastolic from 83-91
Approximately 3/2.
Resting blood pressure for a male (optimum) is 120/70. It will be elevated after exercise or a stressful event.
I found this on http://healthfullife.umdnj.edu - Optimum blood pressure - less than 120 millimeters of mercury systolic and less than 80 millimeters of mercury diastolic - Normal blood pressure - 120 to 129 millimeters of mercury systolic, 80 to 84 millimeters of mercury diastolic - High normal - 130 to 139 millimeters of mercury systolic, 85 to 89 millimeters of mercury diastolic
Blood pressure has both diastolic and systolic readings on a meter. The expected readings of a healthy individual are below 120 for systolic and under 80 for diastolic. Diastolic measures the resting moments between beats while the systolic measures the beat. On the meter, systolic is the upper number and diastolic is the lower one.
70 to 90 systolic and 50 diastolic
It depends on the reference book you're looking at, but usually 120/80 systolic/diastolic.
Normal blood pressure levels are around 120 systolic and 70 diastolic. But the safe zone starts at 90 (low normal) up to 140 (high normal) on the systolic and 60 (low normal) up to 90 (borderline) with the diastolic. Much of it also depends on the individual and their height and weight as well.
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.
Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.
