What are the normal ranges of blood pressure?

Systolic under 120, Diastolic below 80


What is normal Diastolic blood pressure?

A normal diastolic blood pressure is generally considered to be less than 80 mmHg. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is at rest between beats. High diastolic blood pressure can be a sign of underlying health issues, such as hypertension.


How do you calculate pulse pressure?

Pulse pressure can be calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. For example, if someone's systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg and their diastolic blood pressure is 80 mmHg, their pulse pressure would be 40 mmHg (120 - 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


Where will one find diastolic blood pressure on a meter?

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.


What is a normal Diastolic blood pressure range in an adult?

60-100mmHg for a healthy adult.


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 is the human bady blood pressure?

Typical human blood pressure is 120/80, or 120 mmHg systolic pressure/80 mmHg diastolic pressure.


How much the systolic and diastolic pressure should be for a normal man?

Resting blood pressure for a male (optimum) is 120/70. It will be elevated after exercise or a stressful event.


If systoic pressure is 112 and diastolic pressure is 80 what is the pulse pressure?

A blood pressure of 107/74 and pulse of 80 is within normal limits (WNL).


What is your blood pressure if you drink or don't drink coffee?

The standard blood pressure for an average adult is 120/80. 120 being the systolic number and 80 being the diastolic.


What is the diastolic reading of a blood pressure?

Diastolic refers to the moment when the heart muscle is relaxed between contractions. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure at that moment - the lower of the two blood pressure numbers. (e.g. if the blood pressure is 120/80, the diastolic pressure is 80.) it is the bottom number of a blood pressure reading. it measures the force of blood in the chambers of the heart: the atria and ventricles.
