Measures recorded included: peak systolic velocity; end diastolic velocity; time averaged velocity; flow rate; lumen diameter; and two indices of vascular impedance, the Pourcelot or resistance index and the systolic/diastolic ratio (McDicken, 1991). Reliability of ultrasonographic measurement of verteb...
If you have a systolic pressure of 120 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 80 mmHg, your blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. The healthy blood pressure range is between 90/60 and 120/80 mmHg. A blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or higher is considered high. Which number is more important? Systo...
What do the systolic and diastolic blood pressure pressure readings represent? If you exercise with enough intensity that the blood pH is changed, you have exceeded the: a. aerobic threshold b. acidity point c. base point d. pH threshold e. anaerobic threshold ...
The first number is the systolic BP, and the second is the diastolic BP. If you did not have high BP before pregnancy, your systolic BP should be between 110 and 135. Your diastolic BP should be between 60 and 85. If you did have high BP before pregnancy, your systolic BP should be...
Diastolic blood pressure is a measure of your BP between beats When you see it written out, the systolic sits on top of the diastolic, for example, 120/80. A normal blood pressure is at or below that threshold. Your blood pressure rises and falls throughout the day, and it can spike ...

Blood pressure is essentially the force used to circulate blood through the arteries. When evaluating one’s blood pressure, two numbers, systolic and diastolic, are considered as a whole to determine whether one’s arterial pressure is high, normal, or low. It is essential to remember that th...
