A team of researchers from Tulane University, in their article “High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Disease” published in the Journal of Hypertension, highlights that abnormal blood pressure readings, whether high or low, in systolic or diastolic measurements, can signal potential health issues. T...
Explore the critical roles of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, their impacts on health, and which one demands more attention for your wellbeing. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Learn how high blood pressure can affect your health and some of the things that may trigger it. You will al...
Why Do Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure Readings Matter? If either number is too high or too low, it can signal a health problem. Doctors always check your blood pressure because it offers important information about your overall condition, especially your heart health. High blood pressure, ...

Blood Pressure by the Numbers: Normal:Less than 120/80 mm Hg on both numbers. (The top number is the systolic pressure, which measures pressure when your heart beats; the bottom number is the diastolic pressure, which is when your heart is at rest, between beats.) ...

( The Journal , July 22, 1939, p. 294) contains the following statement: "If the radial pulse is felt at a higher level than that at which the auscultatory sound is heard, the palpatory reading should be accepted as the systolic pressure; otherwise the auscultatory reading should be ...

Systolic blood pressure(BP) is another important physiological risk factor for AP. Conventional cuff-based devices only provide snapshots of BP readings. Novel pressure sensors based on PDMS andpiezoelectric materialshave been developed for in vivo or wearable measurements of pressure (Lu et al., 20...
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of postures on blood pressure (BP) readings in patients with hypertension. BP was measured in 1,487 hypertensive patients in sitting and supine positions. The systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP in supine position was 2.9 +/- 7.8...
