What the definition of systolic and dystolic?

Answer 1

When taking blood pressure there are two readings, eg 120/70. The first reading (120) is the systolic blood pressure and the second reading (70) is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure is always higher than the diastolic.

The systolic reading is when the heart muscle is contracting, pushing blood through the arteries, therefore creating more pressure (hence the higher number) in the arteries.

The diastolic reading is when the heart is relaxed and refilling with blood, ready for the next beat, therefore exerting less pressure on the arteries (hence the lower number)

Answer 2

The digital sphygmomanometer uses a piezoelectric sensor in order to detect pressure variations in the form of sound. The electronic components calculate the systolic and diastolic pressures from the mean pressure using empirical statistical oscillometric parameters.

Answer 3

Simply put, as I have been understanding off the net: when you breathe inward pressure on your heart is measured, when you breathe out again your heart is measured. When they average out the readings of blood pressure which is derived from taking the top number and subtratcing the bottom number, that's your blood pressure number, right there, and if there is concern, most doctors know, run tests two times a day for several weeks. There are norms for age and existing health concerns. Your blood pressure numbers change all day long

Answer 4

Systolic. Systolic: is the force at which blood through the arteries as the heart contracts. Diastolic: is the force that blood flows through the vessels as the heart relaxes (the time between each contraction). Because the arteries are under more pressure, systolic will be the higher number, for example 120over80. Hope this helped:-)

Answer 5

pressure of blood inside the artery during contraction(ventricular systole) is called systolic pressure and the pressure inside the artery during relaxation(ventricular diastole) is called diastolic pressure.

Answer 6

Systolic BP is a measure of blood pressure while the heart is pumping; diastolic BP is a measure of blood pressure while the heart is not pumping. BP is the pressure of the blood on the walls of the blood vessels.

Answer 7

The answer is no in any ordinary case the heart pumps blood by contracting and then returning to a relaxed state. When contracting this gives you the diastolic reading and systolic while relaxed. The only case that both can be the same is with use of a cardiac bypass machine such as an artificial heart. These machines constantly move blood at a constant pace and pressure which would read systolic and diastolic the same. <---- 7 years as an Emergency Medical Technitian in Maryland

Answer 8

The systolic pressure is the blood pressure in the arteries during contraction of the ventricles.

Diastolic pressure is the blood pressure that remains between heart contractions. :)

Answer 9

The pressure that is created when the heart is in systole (contraction)
