What is resting blood pressure?
Resting Blood Pressure: Diastolic (blood filling into atrium of heart) is the top number Systolic (blood pumping from atrium into ventricles of heart) is the bottom number
What is the proper name of the blood pressure's bottom number?
It is the diastolic pressure. It is the pressure on the walls of the arteries when the heart is resting.
How can i Distinguish between diastolic and systolic?
Systolic blood pressure: is the pressure of blood flowing through the arteries every time the heart contracts. When the heart contracts (squeezes blood out of the heart) it is known as systole. Diastolic blood pressure: is your blood pressure when your heart is relaxed (resting time between each heart beat). This is known as diastolic. Hope this helped:-)
What are the effects of aerobic training on blood pressure?
Generally, your resting blood pressure and heart rate should fall.
What do the 2 numbers in blood pressure represent?
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.
How does complete chest recoil contribute to effective CPR?
Since pushing on the chest is compressing the heart between the sternum and spine, you must let the chest recoil to allow the blood to re-fill the chambers before compressing the chest (pumping the heart) again.
What is the difference in systolic and diastolic pressure is it resting pressure or pulse pressure?
The systolic blood pressure or number represents the pressure in the artery when the heart contracts and pushes out the pure or oxygenated blood to the body. The diastolic pressure or number represents the pressure in the vein when the heart is in the relaxation phase and blood from the organs flows back into the heart for purification. I hope it is clear
What does Sys mmhg and DIA mmhg mean on the blood pressure reading?
The Systolic number is the force of the blood on the artery walls as the heart contracts. The Diastolic is the pressure when the heart is resting in between beats. The mmhg is how the pressure is measured, which is in millimeters of mercury.
How do calculate pulse rate?
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.
Where will blood be at the lowest pressure in someone who is standing upright?
If you mean, what is the lowest blood pressure, then the answer is around 60 in an average person. Blood pressure is relatively consistent through out the body, so the lowest pressure would be seen when the heart is resting (also know as diastolic blood pressure).
Why is it better to take your resting heart rate in the morning?
Because it relaxes the blood pressure and it's not good if it goes fast
What do the numbers 120 over 80 refer to?
blood pressure or BP, 120 refers to the amount of pressure produced when the ventricles of the heart contract and 80 refers to the pressure in the blood vessels (normally measured via the brachial artery in the humerus) when the heart is at resting. 120/80 is known as the ideal blood pressure.
