130 to 139 to figure out your normal systolic blood pressure:
P≤1/2a+110
P is the pressure, and 'a' is your age.
.
Divide your age by 2, then add 110. That number should be your maximum systolic blood pressure.

∙ 13y agoFirst of all, "systemic arterial systolic blood pressure = systolic blood pressure, because any blood pressure is systemic and arterial.
Systolic blood pressure is the top number of a blood pressure. The bottom number is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic BP is the pressure in the arteries right when the blood is pumped out of the heart, therefore the pressure is bigger. The diastolic BP is the pressure in the arteries after the blood has been pumped out and before the next heart contraction. At this moment, the heart is relaxed and the pressure is much lower.
The normal blood pressure is 120/80. In this case, "120" is the systolic BP and "80" is the diastolic BP.

∙ 7y agoGenerally 120 over 80 is ideal. The first number is the systolic number and the second number is the diastolic number.

∙ 13y agoSystolic pressure, ideally, should not be over 120mmHg (mmHg = millimetres of Mercury)
Over this is classified as pre-hypertension and 140mmhg and above is classed as hypertension.

What is the highest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries called?
The upper Blood Pressure Number is the Systolic, Which is the force of blood in your arteries when you heart beats.
is .. 125 over 59.. high blood pressure ?
High blood pressure is defined as consistentently elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg -- a systolic pressure above 140 with a diastolic pressure above 90.YOur systolic is somewhat elevated,but not high enough to be overly concerned about.
Is blood pressure the pressure of blood in the arteries?
Yes, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on your arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body (systolic) over the pressure when your heart is relaxed (diastolic).
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels?
systolic, its the number on top, that's why that number is larger
The peak blood pressure measured during ventricular systole is called?
Systolic Pressure
What is blood pressure used to evaluate?
Your systole and diastole (or systolic and diastolic pressure). Systolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart pumps out blood while diastolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart is at rest(in between pumps). Blood pressure is stated as systolic pressure/diastolic pressure. The normal BP is 120/80 mmHg.
Is the Systolic pressure is a measure of blood pressure when the ventricles relax and fill with blood?
No. I think the systolic pressure is when ventricles constrict and the blood goes out , while the diastolic pressure is when ventricles relax and fill with blood.
What is the meaning of blood pressure?
SYSTOLIC
What causes a high diastolic but low systolic reading?
When a person is evaluated for high blood pressure), 2 values are recorded: systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Systolic (the higher number) is the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts; diastolic (the lower number) is the pressure when the heart rests between contractions. A blood pressure reading is recorded as systolic /diastolic pressure, or "systolic over diastolic." Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). An example of how to read a blood pressure measurement is "120 mmHg/80 mmHg" or "120 over 80." High blood pressure in adults is defined as having either a systolic pressure of 140 mmHg or more, or having a diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg or more. In some people with high blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic pressures are high. However, older people often have a higher systolic pressure with a normal. This condition is called isolated systolic hypertension, which is still considered high blood pressure. In older adults because the arteries reduce in elasticity, they do not expand as easily causing an increase in the systolic blood pressure (Imagine the same quantity of blood flowing through a vessel that doesn't expand. It gets really crammed in there causing systolic blood pressure to increase). But because diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure exerted on the arteries during diastole, there isn't much distension and contraction of the arteries. Thus, reduced elasticity does not effect diastolic pressure causing a normal blood pressure reading.
Are the systolic blood pressure pumping pressure?
Yes. The systolic is the pressure exerted against the artey walls when the heart beats.
What is the description of "systolic pressure"?
The best or most common description for systolic pressure would be that its related to your blood pressure. If you have systolic blood pressure it could mean that your blood vessels are clogged up.
What is the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
systolic pressure when ventricals are contracting while during diastole they are in relaxed state
