The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 122/76 (122 over 76); systolic = 122, diastolic = 76. Blood pressure of less than 140 over 90 is considered a normal reading for adults. A systolic pressure of 130 to 139 or a diastolic pressure of 85 to 89 needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading equal to or greater than 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic) is considered elevated (high).
The upper Blood Pressure Number is the Systolic, Which is the force of blood in your arteries when you heart beats.
Systolic Pressure
Systolic pressure is a representation of the maximum pressure exerted on the arteries. Systolic pressure measures the maximum amount of pressure the blood exerts during a heart beat.
Yes. The systolic is the pressure exerted against the artey walls when the heart beats.
That is a very good BP. Congratulations☺
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
It is not the maximum systolic pressure, but if close to that point.
This is impossible. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the artery during the heart contractions. Diastolic pressure is during heart relaxation. Picture this, and you'd see that it's impossible to have diastolic pressure equal or greater than systolic pressure.
pulse pressure
Systolic comes from the Greek word, "systole", which means to draw together or contract. Systolic pressure is the maximum pressure produced in the arteries when the left ventricle of the heart contracts.
