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).
What else can I help you with?
What is the highest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries called?
The upper Blood Pressure Number is the Systolic, Which is the force of blood in your arteries when you heart beats.
The peak blood pressure measured during ventricular systole is called?
Systolic Pressure
When is systolic presssure mesured?
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.
Are the systolic blood pressure pumping pressure?
Yes. The systolic is the pressure exerted against the artey walls when the heart beats.
What does a systolic pressure of 122 and a diastolic of 75?
That is a very good BP. Congratulations☺
Does 125 represent a maximum or minimum systolic pressure at age 30?
It is not the maximum systolic pressure, but if close to that point.
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
What is the systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure?
pulse pressure
Can systolic blood pressure equal blood pressure diaslotic?
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.
What does systolic stands for?
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.
What is the pressure in the vessel in artery?
Systolic.
What is the meaning of blood pressure?
SYSTOLIC
