The optimal blood pressure reading currently is 115/75. 59 The "115", the first number, is the Systolic Blood Pressure---the pressure your heart generates when pumping blood through your arteries. See Diastolic Blood Pressure.
The top number in your blood pressure (the 120 in a blood pressure of 120/80) measures the maximum pressure exerted when the heart contracts.
Is the top number of a blood pressure, which occurs when the heart is contracting to push the blood around the body.
The pressure exerted on the vessel walls during ventricular contraction, measured in millimeters of mercury. The systolic number is the top of the fraction. 120/80 is an average value for normal blood pressure (120 is the systolic number). Mild high blood pressure is considered to be between 140/90 and 160/95. High blood pressure is defined by a value greater than 160/95.
When measuring blood pressure, systolic blood pressure is the highest pressure, which occurs when the beat or contraction of your heart forces the blood around the circulation. It is the first and highest number recorded.
Systolic blood pressure is the blood pressure measured when the ventricles of the heart are contracting.
The force of the blood in the arteries when the heart is contracting; the higher blood pressure reading. Ultrasound: A test that involves the use of sound waves to show pictures of the inside of the body, including the fetus inside the mother's uterus.
The pressure measured when the ventricle contracts. The highest of the pressures measured.
The maximum pressure in the artery produced as the heart contracts and blood begins to flow.
The maximum pressure exerted by the heart when it contracts, the first number of a blood pressure reading.
The higher number of a taken blood pressure (i.e. 120/80).
the highest blood pressure measured in the arteries.
Pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries during the contraction phase of the heartbeat; varies with age, gender, size, and physical condition.
The peak (highest) pressure that occurs when the heart contracts; averages about 120 mm Hg in healthy adults
The first or top number in a blood pressure reading. The maximum pressure produced as the heart contracts and blood begins to flow. As systolic pressure rises, especially reaching or passing 140, so does the risk of getting heart disease. (Read about " Hypertension: High Blood Pressure")
Represents blood pressure in the arteries when the heart is beating.
Pressure inside the arteries when the heart contracts with each beat.
amount of force used by the heart to eject blood out of the heart; “systolic†refers to the top number read as part of blood pressure
The pressure exerted by the blood on the cavities of the heart at the moment when they contract.
The pressure exerted by the blood on the blood vessel walls during pumping of the heart.
The peak blood pressure, which occurs when the heart pumps blood into the arteries. It is thus the higher of the two numbers used to describe blood pressure.
Blood pressure that occurs when the heart beats.
High blood pressure at the time of heart contraction.
The top number of a blood pressure reading. It shows the pressure in the arteries when the heart is contracting and sending blood into the body.
the period of greatest pressure in the arterial vascular system.
The blood pressure measured in the arteries during systole
The pressure in the arteries at the point when the heart pumps; the first and higher of the two numbers obtained when blood pressure is measured (see Cardiovascular Health).
a high value showing blood pressure at the maximum heart contraction.
