If your blood pressure was 112/72 then the pressure when the heart is relaxed is 112 and your pulse rate is 72 The pressure during systole is 112 and your pulse rate is 72 the pressure during systole is 112 and 72 during diastole the pressure during diastole is 112 and 72 during systole

Step 1
Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart is contracting, and diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart is relaxed. In the given blood pressure of 112/72, 112 represents the systolic pressure and 72 represents the diastolic pressure. Show more…

Each time your heart beats, your blood pressure first increases and then decreases as the heart rests between beats. The maximum blood pressure is called systolic pressure and the minimum blood pressure is called diastolic pressure. A blood pressure reading is written as systolic/diastolic. A reading of 120/80 is considered normal. Suppose a certain person's blood pressure is modeled by the function p(t) = 115 + 25 sin(160πt) where p(t) is the pressure in mmHg at time t (in minutes). The graph of y = p(t) is shown below. Use the graph to determine this person's blood pressure reading.

Diastolic arterial blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries at the time of cardiac diastole. Another way of saying this is that the diastolic blood pressure is the ______ (Diastole: the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and allows the chambers to fill with blood). minimum pressure present in the arteries. maximum pressure present in the arteries. pressure in the ateries when the ventricles contract. pressure in the arteries during the ventricular contraction over the pressure in the arteries during ventricular relaxation.

An arterial blood pressure measurement indicates that one patient's carotid has a systolic pressure of 130 mmHg and diastolic pressure of 70 mmHg: What is the carotid's pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure? PP mmHg; MAP = mmHg
