When diastolic blood pressure (the lower BP number) is subtracted from the systolic blood pressure (the higher BP number), and the value is 60 or more, there is a widened pulse pressure. With persistently widened pulse pressures, individuals are at increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (stroke) events.

Pulse pressure Is a blood pressure reading of 177 over 65 a pulse rate of 66 and a pulse pressure of 112 a problem?
terrible
Does a fall in pulse rate affect the pressure?
Do you mean blood pressure? Yes it does like for example when you do drugs or something
How much the pulse pressure should be?
40-60 is healthy
Who would have a higher pulse pressure a resting athlete or a resting person who never exercise?
A person who has never exercised before would have a higher heart rate and blood pressure than an ahlete at rest. A athlete could have a heart rate below 60 BPM becauses they have a stronger and healthy heartEdit to add: Uhh ... While all of this may be true, the question is asking about a higher pulse pressure. Pulse pressure refers to the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. Due primarily to decreases in the diastolic pressure observed in athletes, a resting athlete will have the higher *PULSE PRESSURE*.
Where is the superficial pulse point that may be readily palpated?
pressure point
What is pulse pressure?
Pulse pressure is the pressure that is felt when feeling the pulse. Measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), the pressure difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures is the pressure change to create the pulse, which is the pulse pressure.
Pulse pressure Is a blood pressure reading of 177 over 65 a pulse rate of 66 and a pulse pressure of 112 a problem?
terrible
How do you calculate pulse pressure?
PP= SP - DS Pulse Pressure is equal to Systolic Blood Pressure minus Diastolic Blood Pressure.
How do you determine a person's diastolic blood pressure?
MAP=diastolic pressure+(pulse pressure/3) so... MAP - (pulse pressure/3)= diastolic pressure
If systoic pressure is 112 and diastolic pressure is 80 what is the pulse pressure?
A blood pressure of 107/74 and pulse of 80 is within normal limits (WNL).
What is the systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure?
pulse pressure
What effect will a allergic reaction have on blood pressure and pulse?
high blood pressure and low pulse rate
Why is the measurement of pulse pressure so important?
Some evidence suggests that pulse pressure is a better predictor of clinical outcome than the systolic or diastolic blood pressure alone. However, using pulse pressure as a clinical predictor or diagnosis tool is complicated because the pulse pressure doesn't provide unique information. Pulse pressure must be calculated from the systolic and diastolic readings. So, saying that someone has an "elevated pulse pressure" is usually the same as saying that they have an "elevated systolic blood pressure," which is already known to be an important clinical finding requiring treatment.
Systolic blood pressure minus diastolic blood pressure is known as?
Pulse pressure.it should ideally be about 40.when it increases it can be risk for heart and kidney.it is normal for pulse pressure to rise during exercise.
i have blood pressure of 82/50 and pulse 81 is that an emergency?
my blood pressure is 82/50 pulse 81. is this an emergency
Which blood vessel has a pulse?
The blood vessel that has a pulse is an artery. Veins do not have enough blood pressure to register a pulse.
The difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure is called the?
The first number recorded in a blood pressure measurement is the systolic pressure and represents the peak pressure generated by cardiac contraction. The second number is the diastolic pressure and represents the intravascular pressure during relaxation of the heart while it is filling. The difference between these two measurements is called the pulse pressure. So, for a normal BP reading of 120/80, there would be a normal pulse pressure of 40.
