Diastolic Blood Pressure


What happens with a diastolic blood pressure below 50?

A diastolic blood pressure below 50 mmHg is considered abnormally low and can lead to inadequate blood flow to vital organs. This condition, known as diastolic hypotension, may result in symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, and fatigue. It can be caused by various factors, including dehydration, severe blood loss, or heart problems. If persistent, low diastolic pressure should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.


Coronary perfusion pressure?

the difference between aortic diastolic and right atrial diastolic pressure; a determinant of the blood flow to cardiac muscle.


What is the systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure?

pulse pressure


Is diastolic pressure the vascular pressure created during the pulmonary resting phase?

No. Diastolic pressure is the (lowest) arterial pressure that occurs just before the heart beats.


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


If the aortic valve could not close completely would the diastolic or systolic pressure be affected?

Diastolic, because it would lower the pressure.

What is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?

No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.


The difference between systolic and diastolic pressures?

Systolic BP should always be higher than diastolic BP.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.
