Question

The value of diastolic pressure is-
A. 120 mm Hg
B. 80 mm Hg
C. 120/80 mm Hg
D. 40 mm Hg

Answer 1

Hint: The period when the heart relaxes and expands and the pressure is always lower than the systolic pressure in the heart. Greater numbers than the systolic pressure would cause certain disorders in humans. The measurement of the pressure in the arteries when the heart is resting between beats are measured by bottom diastolic blood pressure.

Complete answer: The measurement of the blood pressure in humans can be measured in mmHg and is determined by contraction and relaxation of heart muscles and it determines one’s blood pressure.
Diastolic phenomena is the condition when the heart’s chamber gets filled by the blood and the blood pressure of the person decreases while the systolic condition when the muscles of heart contracts and pushes the blood which in the heart towards outside into the vessels towards the rest of the organs of the body. During this time the blood pressure of the person increases.
The normal blood pressure for the healthy person is 120/80 mm Hg where 120 mm Hg is the systolic blood pressure and 80 mm Hg is the diastolic blood pressure.
So, the correct answer is “Option B ”.

Additional Information:
The elevated blood pressure takes place at diastole 80 mm Hg and systole pressure 120-129 mm Hg. In the condition of hypertension, the normal diastolic pressure i.e. 80 mm Hg would increase and be connected to the conditions of dehydration and bleeding phenomena due to the dilation in arteries.

Note:
The entire cycle of the heart for contraction and relation runs for one minute for a healthy and normal person at the rate of 75 beats per minute. There is always an increase in the normal diastolic pressure which results in prehypertension and different stages of hypertension.
