The top number is the Systolic pressure. The bottom number is the Diastolic pressure. The top number is the force that the blood puts against the artery walls as the heart pumps. The bottom number is the pressure against the artery walls as the heart rests in between beats.
The first number in a blood pressure reading is the systolic blood pressure. It represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is contracting. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure when the heart is relaxing.
2 numbers. Systolic/diastolic
Systolic pressure . . . peak when the heart contractsDiastolic pressure . . . minimum when the heart is relaxed
There are 2 satges in a heartbeat: Systole and Diastole. Systole: Is the stage when the heart contracts and pumps the blood. Diastole: Is the stage when the heart relaxes (the time where it is at rest and where it doesn't pump any blood). The two numbers are written in fraction form. The top number represents Systole and the bottom number represents diastole.
Blood pressure is the force or pressure that blood puts on the walls of your arteries as it goes through your body. Blood Pressure readings are usually written as 2 numbers. The first and higher number is called systolic pressure. It is the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats. The second and lower number is called the diastolic pressure. It is the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart is resting between beats.
[Systolic Blood Pressure+(2 x Diastolic Blood Pressure)]/3
the 2 types of blood pressure distolic and cistolic
The upper number is called the systolic, and is the pressure of how hard your heart is pumping. The lower number is the diastolic, and is how much the pressure is when your heart is relaxing between pumps.
2 blood pressure
Hypertension means high blood pressure. Blood pressure readings are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and usually given as 2 numbers. For example, 140 over 90 (written as 140/90). * The top number is your systolic pressure, the pressure created when your heart beats. It is considered high if it is consistently over 140. * The bottom number is your diastolic pressure, the pressure inside blood vessels when the heart is at rest. It is considered high if it is consistently over 90. Either or both of these numbers may be too high. Pre-hypertension is when your systolic blood pressure is between 120 and 139 or your diastolic blood pressure is between 80 and 89 on multiple readings. If you have pre-hypertension, you are more likely to develop high blood pressure at some point. I hope this would be help full for you thank you have a nice day.

high and low blood pressure, heart, and lungs. There four classifications of adult blood pressure. 1. Normal 2. Prehypertensive 3. Stage 1 Hypertension 4. Stage 2 Hypertension. Each of these are categorized by their variations in systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.
I found an interesting article on child's blood pressure. Blood pressure will change as the child grows, height and weight are a determining factor of blood pressure for children. The link is posted below.
