What does SYS DIA and PUL mean?

What does SYS DIA and PUL mean?

The top number (systolic) minus the bottom number (diastolic) is the pulse pressure. For example, if the resting blood pressure is 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), the pulse pressure is 40 — which is considered a healthy pulse pressure.

What should your SYS DIA and pulse be?

Normal blood pressure is regarded as being between 120-129 (systolic) and 80-84 (diastolic). The definition of high blood pressure, according to 2018 ESC/ESH Guidelines, is anything above 140/90 mmHg.

What does Pul on blood pressure mean?

Pulse pressure is the difference between the upper and lower numbers of your blood pressure. This number can be an indicator of health problems before you develop symptoms.

Which is most important systolic or diastolic?

The top number is more important because it gives a better idea of your risk of having a stroke or heart attack. Having a raised systolic blood pressure but normal or low diastolic blood pressure is called Isolated Systolic Hypertension (ISH).

What is DIA on a heart monitor?

‘SYS’ is short for systolic and it refers to the amount of pressure in your arteries when your heart muscle contracts. ‘DIA’ on the other hand, is short for diastolic, which is the blood pressure when your heart is in between beats.

What is SYS mm Hg mean?

Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and is given as 2 figures: systolic pressure – the pressure when your heart pushes blood out. diastolic pressure – the pressure when your heart rests between beats.

How much SYS is normal?

Normal: Less than 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) for systolic and 80 mm Hg for diastolic. Elevated: Between 120-129 for systolic, and less than 80 for diastolic.

What is a normal sys?

Here’s how to understand your systolic blood pressure number: Normal: Below 120. Elevated: 120-129. Stage 1 high blood pressure (also called hypertension): 130-139.

What is SYS mmHg and Dia mmHg?

That’s what the mm/Hg stands for. Here’s what the numbers mean: Your systolic pressure (the top number) is the pressure of the blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats. Your diastolic pressure (the bottom number) is the pressure of the blood in your arteries between beats, when your heart relaxes.
