Which of the 2 readings for bp is the systolic?
Top number is the systolic. For example 120/80 120 would be your systolic number.
Why uncross legs while getting blood pressure taken?
Crossing the legs at the knees can cause an increase in systolic BP as well as a smaller increase in diastolic BP. Crossing the legs at the ankles does not have a significant impact on altering BP.
Explain what a pulse is and how it can be used to measure blood pressure?
The pulse is caused by variations in the BP. BP can be measured using palpitation in emergency situations. This only gives a rough estimate of systolic pressure. It can be used with the carotid, the femoral, or radial pulse.
Expected mean systolic bp in newborns infant toddlers?
50
Which pulse is used when placing the stethoscope to take the blood pressure?
If you're listening with a stethoscope, you're listening to the brachial artery. In some situations, though, you may need to palpate the BP, resulting in feeling the radial artery. However, if you palpate, you can only get the systolic BP.
What are the 2 terms used to describe the pressures in BP?
Systolic pressure and Diastolic pressure
What does a systolic pressure of 122 and a diastolic of 75?
That is a very good BP. Congratulations☺
Why does the systolic and dyistolic bp equalize.?
The systolic and diastolic BP should never be truly equalized as the difference it the actual result from the function of the heart as it pumps. When the pressure equalizes the heart is no long able to function properly usually due to fluid build up.
Explain the readings for systolic and diastolic pressure that is what is actually happening?
What does the BP numbers mean? 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.
Is systolic of 100 and diastolic of 57 and pulse of 57 good?
It really depends on how you've been feeling and if that is your norm. There are many factors that change affect your BP and pulse. Need more info.
What is more dangerous high diastolic or high systolic?
Both high diastolic and high systolic blood pressure are dangerous and can contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. High systolic pressure is typically associated with a higher risk of heart attack and stroke, while high diastolic pressure can also lead to organ damage, such as in the kidneys. It is important to monitor and manage both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels to reduce the risk of complications.
What are the pharmacological advantages of telmisartan over valsartan?
telmisartan lowered both systolic and diastolic BP to a greater extent than did valsartan
