The diastolic sound in blood pressure is primarily caused by the closure of the heart's semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) at the end of ventricular systole. This closure creates a brief vibration in the blood and surrounding tissues, which can be detected as a sound using a stethoscope. In clinical practice, the diastolic pressure is measured at the point where these sounds disappear (Korotkoff sound phase V), indicating the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats.
What else can I help you with?
Why uncross legs while getting blood pressure taken?
Crossing the legs at the knees can cause an increase in systolic BP as well as a smaller increase in diastolic BP. Crossing the legs at the ankles does not have a significant impact on altering BP.
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 does the dystolic number mean and what should it be?
your diastolic bp, briefly, is your heart intake bp, the lower number, which should be +- 80.
What are the 2 terms used to describe the pressures in BP?
Systolic pressure and Diastolic pressure
What does a systolic pressure of 122 and a diastolic of 75?
That is a very good BP. Congratulations☺
Explain the readings for systolic and diastolic pressure that is what is actually happening?
What does the BP numbers mean? 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 it mean when there is no reading on the diastolic number?
It's time to buy a new BP monitor. Or the patient is dead
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.
What are the pharmacological advantages of telmisartan over valsartan?
telmisartan lowered both systolic and diastolic BP to a greater extent than did valsartan
Why would your diastolic blood pressure be 47?
You would be in shock. A diastolic BP of 47 is dangerously low.
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.
How do you measure postural hypotension drop?
measure blood pressure in supine posture. ask him to stand without removing the cuff measure BP IMMEDIATELY after standing any difference of >20 mm Hg in systoloic bp and >10 mm Hg in diastolic BP is taken as postural hypotension
