Which of the pressures below is closest to the mean arterial pressure in a person whose systolic pressure is 125 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 50 mmHg? 102 mm Hg 110 mm Hg 85 mm Hg 78mmHg

Step 1
This means that if a person's systolic pressure falls within this range, they are considered to have prehypertension. Show more…

A blood pressure measurement consists of two numbers: the systolic pressure, which is the maximum pressure taken when the heart is contracting, and the diastolic pressure, which is the minimum pressure taken at the beginning of the heartbeat. Blood pressures were measured, in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), for a sample of eight adults. The following table presents the results. Systolic Diastolic 127 92 125 94 135 87 110 75 123 89 121 87 118 87 127 93 The least-squares regression equation is ŷ = 18.7841 + 0.5616x. If the systolic pressures of two patients differ by 8 mmHg, by how much would you predict their diastolic pressures to differ?

The difference of blood pressure between systolic and diastolic phase is (a) $10 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ (b) $40 \mathrm{mmHg}$ (c) $120 \mathrm{mmHg}$ (d) $180 \mathrm{mmHg}$
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
