Pulse pressure is the difference between the upper and lower numbers of your blood pressure. It represents the force that the heart generates each time it contracts.
Your Calculated Pulse Pressure:
40 mmHg
A normal pulse pressure is approximately 40 mmHg. Generally, a pulse pressure above 60 mmHg is considered wide (often seen in older adults), while a value below 30 mmHg is considered narrow.
Pulse pressure represents the difference between the top and bottom numbers of your blood pressure reading, indicating arterial health.
Formula: Pulse Pressure = Systolic BP - Diastolic BP
Pulse Pressure = Systolic BP - Diastolic BP
Example: For a blood pressure reading of 120/80 mmHg.
It is a key indicator of cardiovascular health and arterial stiffness.
A pulse pressure greater than 60 mmHg is generally considered high or wide.
Narrow pulse pressure, below 30 mmHg, may be caused by heart failure or blood loss.
