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.

It is Systolic,Pulse,and dystolic.


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 is the term for your blood pressure and your heart at work?

When you are getting the doctor to take your blood pressure the readings are called: dystolic/systolic 120/80


What is the average blood preasure?

120/80 is average but systolic and dystolic the two numbers can be plus or minus ten and still be normal.


On a heart catherization report are the numbers that are listed under hemodynamic findings as fractions the systolic and dystolic pressure readings in mmhg example PA 84 over 7?

NO. Systolic and diastolic represents pressure against the arterial walls. 120/80


What does a blood pressure reading 76 being systolic 50 being dystolic and 48 being the beats per minute?

It means see your doctor! Under 60 BPM is really low for a pulse, and your blood pressure is really low as well. Systolic shouldn't be under 100, diastolic is normally 80.


The transfer of high-energy electrons down the electron transport chain causes what to be transported across the mitochondrial membrane?

The electron movement causes H+ ions to be transported to the cystolic side of the mitochondrial membrane from the mitochondial matrix. This creates the electrochemical gradient that is used to generate chemical energy (ATP from ADP)


What does the bottom reading on the blood pressure mean?

Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels. The top number (systolic) is the pressure during a heartbeat. The bottom number (diastolic) is the presurre between heatbeats or at rest --R Jackson LPN


What is the standard unit for measuring blood preassure?

The blood-pressure numbers are in units of mm-Hg. That's the pressure at the bottom of a column of mercury that's that many millimeters tall. For a comparison, a typical healthy systolic pressure may be 120. On exactly the same scale and in the same units, the Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 . If your blood pressure were 760, it wouldn't be for long, because you would most likely explode.


What are the two readings that are taken to find out blood pressure?

The two reading notes on a blood pressure reading is systolic and diastolic. Systolic reads the pressure in the arteries when the heart muscle beats or contracts. Diastolic reads the pressure in the arteries between beats or contractions.


What the definition of systolic and dystolic?

When taking blood pressure there are two readings, eg 120/70. The first reading (120) is the systolic blood pressure and the second reading (70) is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure is always higher than the diastolic.The systolic reading is when the heart muscle is contracting, pushing blood through the arteries, therefore creating more pressure (hence the higher number) in the arteries.The diastolic reading is when the heart is relaxed and refilling with blood, ready for the next beat, therefore exerting less pressure on the arteries (hence the lower number)
