The pulse pressure is _____
a. systoic pressure plus diastolic pressure
b. systoic pressure minus diastolic pressure
c. systolic pressure divided by diastolic pressure
d. diastolic pressure plus 1/3 (systolic pressure plus dastolic pressure)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is B: systoic pressure minus diastolic pressure

Explanation:

Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic blood pressure minus diastolic blood pressure and is a characteristic sign of arterial elasticity. Pulse pressure and wave morphology indicate the elasticity of the arteries.

The pulse pressure is “systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure”.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The pulse pressure is the factor which is used to monitor the normal body pressure of the body. It is the value which is obtained as difference between the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.

The high value of the blood pressure is considered as systolic pressure, whereas the low value of the blood pressure is called diastolic pressure.

For example if the blood pressure of the person is 120/80, then his pulse pressure is 120-80 which is 40.
