Pulse pressure is the pressure that is felt when feeling the pulse. Measured in millimeters of Mercury (mmHg), the pressure difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures is the pressure change to create the pulse, which is the pulse pressure.

Pulse pressure Is a blood pressure reading of 177 over 65 a pulse rate of 66 and a pulse pressure of 112 a problem?
terrible
How do you determine a person's diastolic blood pressure?
MAP=diastolic pressure+(pulse pressure/3) so... MAP - (pulse pressure/3)= diastolic pressure
Which blood vessel has a pulse?
Arteries have a pulse due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates a pressure wave that can be felt as the pulse in arteries. Veins do not have a pulse as they carry blood back to the heart at a lower pressure.
If systoic pressure is 112 and diastolic pressure is 80 what is the pulse pressure?
A blood pressure of 107/74 and pulse of 80 is within normal limits (WNL).
How do you calculate pulse pressure?
Pulse pressure can be calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. For example, if someone's systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg and their diastolic blood pressure is 80 mmHg, their pulse pressure would be 40 mmHg (120 - 80).
The difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure is called the?
The first number recorded in a blood pressure measurement is the systolic pressure and represents the peak pressure generated by cardiac contraction. The second number is the diastolic pressure and represents the intravascular pressure during relaxation of the heart while it is filling. The difference between these two measurements is called the pulse pressure. So, for a normal BP reading of 120/80, there would be a normal pulse pressure of 40.
What effect will a allergic reaction have on blood pressure and pulse?
high blood pressure and low pulse rate
What is the systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure?
pulse pressure
Why is the measurement of pulse pressure so important?
Some evidence suggests that pulse pressure is a better predictor of clinical outcome than the systolic or diastolic blood pressure alone. However, using pulse pressure as a clinical predictor or diagnosis tool is complicated because the pulse pressure doesn't provide unique information. Pulse pressure must be calculated from the systolic and diastolic readings. So, saying that someone has an "elevated pulse pressure" is usually the same as saying that they have an "elevated systolic blood pressure," which is already known to be an important clinical finding requiring treatment.
Systolic blood pressure minus diastolic blood pressure is known as?
Pulse pressure.it should ideally be about 40.when it increases it can be risk for heart and kidney.it is normal for pulse pressure to rise during exercise.
i have blood pressure of 82/50 and pulse 81 is that an emergency?
my blood pressure is 82/50 pulse 81. is this an emergency
What cause a person's pulse?
A pulse in a person's arteries is felt as a wave of high pressure blood comes coursing through the vessel immediately after a heart beat. More specifically, the arterial pulse is felt as the jump in blood pressure from the diastolic pressure up to the systolic pressure. A person who has a narrow pulse width; for example 110/100 will likely have a weaker palpable pulse compared to a person with similar physique and a wider pulse pressure like 140/80.
