Arterial Blood Pressure, Normal Blood Pressure Values And Ranges

Arterial Blood Pressure And Its Normal Ranges

What is Arterial Blood Pressure/Blood Pressure?

"Lateral pressure exerted by the coulmn of blood on the walls of arteries in each heart beat"

Arterial Blood Pressure is expressed in four different terms:

1.Diastolic Pressure

2.Systolic Pressure

3.Pulse Pressure

4.Mean Arterial Pressure

Here I will go through each of the term one by one.

1. Diastolic Blood Pressure/Diastolic Pressure

"Minimum pressure exerted on the walls of arteries during diastole of heart(filling phase)"

Normal values for diastolic blood pressure

▪80mmHg(Average)

▪60mmHg-80mmHg(Normal range)

So, you need not to worry 60-80mmHg Diastolic Blood Pressure is all normal. 

2. Systolic Blood Pressure/Systolic Pressure

"Maximum pressure exerted on the wall of arteries during systole of heart(contraction of heart)"

Normal Values for Systolic Blood Pressure

▪120mmHg(Average)

▪110-140mmHg(Normal range)

3. Pulse Pressure

"Pressure difference between Systolic Blood Pressure and Diastolic Blood Pressure"

Normal Values:

Pulse pressure= Systolic pressure - Diastolic pressure

Pulse pressure= 120-80

And this equals to 40mmHg, So

Pulse pressure=40mmHg 

4. Mean Arterial Blood Pressure:

 "It is the average pressure with which tissue perfused during Cardiac cycle"

or

"It is the average pressure existing in the arteries"

It is the diastolic pressure + 1/3 of pulse pressure

=80+40/3

=80+13

Mean Arterial Pressure= 93mmHg
