The muffling of sound during blood pressure measurement corresponds to the diastolic pressure because it occurs when the blood flow resumes through the artery after the pressure in the cuff is released. Initially, as the cuff pressure decreases, the sounds of turbulent blood flow (Korotkoff sounds) are heard. When these sounds begin to soften and eventually disappear, it indicates that the arterial pressure has fallen to the level of diastolic pressure, where the heart is at rest between beats. Thus, the transition from distinct sounds to muffled sounds marks the point of diastolic pressure.

What is muffling sound?
it is when you can not hear anything
How do you read the sphygmomanometer?
To read a sphygmomanometer, first inflate the cuff until the gauge reads around 180 mmHg. Then, slowly release the pressure while listening for the first and last sounds, which indicate the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. Note these values as your reading.
When taking blood pressure the first tapping sound heard is recorded is the first sound systolic or diastolic?
systolic
What cause the diastolic sound in bp?
The diastolic sound in blood pressure is primarily caused by the closure of the heart's semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) at the end of ventricular systole. This closure creates a brief vibration in the blood and surrounding tissues, which can be detected as a sound using a stethoscope. In clinical practice, the diastolic pressure is measured at the point where these sounds disappear (Korotkoff sound phase V), indicating the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats.
What is a good sentence for muffling?

Is water good at muffling sound?
yes
Do you think that pulse measurement can replace stethoscope in determining diastolic pressure?
No. The sound that is heard is generated by turbulent flow when blood overcomes the pressure of the cuff (at the systolic point), but collapses because the cuff pressure exceeds the diastolic pressure. One the cuff is below the systolic pressure, there will be a pulse.
Can a diastolic blood preasure reading be zero with a systolic of 110?
In many pregnant women, the 4th phase karatkoff sound is audible even though there is no pressure in the cuff. Hence, this leads to a 5th phase karatkoff sound (diastolic pressure reading) of 0. So yes, a systolic reading of 110 and a diastolic of 0 is possible - an example would be in pregnancy.
What materials are good at muffling sound?

What means muffling sound?
A muffled sound. To muffle means to wrap with something to deaden sound (you know, for example, a girl is kidnapped by a gang and they put a handkerchief on her mouth. When she goes "Mmmph!", that's what muffling sounds like).
