What is the Systolic pressure.and Diastolic pressure
Answers
Systolic Pressure:
Systolic pressure is the pressure of the blood in the arteries when the heart pumps. It is the higher of two blood pressure measurements; for example, if the blood pressure is 120/80, then 120 is the systolic pressure.
Diastolic pressure:
The diastolic reading, or the bottom number, is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. This is the time when the heart fills with blood and gets oxygen.
A normal diastolic blood pressure is lower than 80. A reading of 90 or higher means you have high blood pressure.
Answer:
blood pressure readings are given in two numbers. the top number is the maximum pressure your heart exerts while beating is called systolic pressure.
the bottom number is the amount of pressure in your arteries b/w beats is called Diastolic pressure.
