top
Is the numerator the bottom number or the top number?
the numerator is the top number and the denominator is the bottom number
Systolic is measured at which korotkoff?
The systolic pressure is measured at the first Karotkoff sound (stage I), it is the first tapping noise that you hear with a stethoscope when taking a manual blood pressure.
Is the denominator the number on top or bottom in a fraction?
It is the bottom number the top number is the numerator :)
What is the top number of the division problem called?
The number which is on top of the division problem is the answer, obviously, or the quotient. :) The top number of a fraction is the numerator.
Which of the 2 readings for bp is the systolic?
Top number is the systolic. For example 120/80 120 would be your systolic number.
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
High systolic low diastolic?
"Normal" blood pressure is somewhere between 90/60 and 140/90. Systolic - the top number Diastolic - the bottom number Systolic pressure is when the heart is contracted and squeezing blood out of the heart. Diastolic pressure is when the heart is relaxed and letting blood flow into the heart.
What is dystolic and cystolic?
Diastolic is associated with blood pressure. It's the measurement of pressure in the artery when your heart is at rest. Dystolic is a common misspelling.
What is the hypertension?
High Blood Pressure "Hyper" is High "Hypo" is Low Tension is Blood Pressure Hyper would be anything over 150 systolic and 90 diastolic Hypo would be anything lower than 100 systolic top number systolic, bottom diastolic
What is is hypertension?
High Blood Pressure "Hyper" is High "Hypo" is Low Tension is Blood Pressure Hyper would be anything over 150 systolic and 90 diastolic Hypo would be anything lower than 100 systolic top number systolic, bottom diastolic
What is normal blood pressure 48 female?
120/80 is normal 140/90 is high blood pressure Around age 50 the top number (systolic) can begin to rise without the bottom number (diastolic) rising, and this is called Isolated Systolic Hypertension.
What is the rise and fall of the arteries called?
Systolic is the top number that is when your heart is constricted, and Diastolic is the bottom number when your heart is relaxed in between the steady rythmia of constrict/relax
Normal range for diastolic and systolic blood preassure diastolic 110 for systolic 71?
The systolic number is always higher than the diastolic number. 120 or lower for systolic number and 80 or lower for diastolic is in normal range. If diastolic is high, say 95 after running - is ita high? and if what should one do?
Your blood pressure is good but your pulse is 106?
Blood pressure is divided into systolic and diastolic ranges. The systolic (top number) range is between 120-139. The diastolic (bottom number) range is between 80-99. The ranges above are considered the norm regardless of pulse rate.
What is the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
systolic pressure when ventricals are contracting while during diastole they are in relaxed state
What is the top number of a blood pressure reading measuring?
Systolic: The blood pressure when the heart is contracting. It is specifically the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of the left ventricle of the heart. The time at which ventricular contraction occurs is called systole.Blood pressure is always given as these two numbers, the systolic and diastolic pressures. Both are important. Usually they are written one above or before the other, such as 120/80 mmHg. The top number is the systolic and the bottom the diastolic. When the two measurements are written down, the systolic pressure is the first or top number, and the diastolic pressure is the second or bottom number (for example, 120/80). If your blood pressure is 120/80, you say that it is "120 over 80."The mmHg part of the measurement stands for millimeters of mercury. This is because the original measuring devices indicated the pressure using a column of mercury. These days digital devices are used but they are calibrated to read in mmHg for consistency.
