| Question | Answer |
| What is systolic measuring? | The ventricles when they contract and the force it has on the arterial wall |
| What is diastolic measuring? | Force on the arterial walls at rest when the heart chambers are filling up |
| What is the normal progression of systolic pressure with exercise? | Increases around 8-12 mm Hg In a healthy adult it is common to see a 40-50 mm Hg difference |
| What is the normal change of diastolic pressure? | Increases/decrease by 10 mm Hg |
| When should you stop exercise base on BP? | Systolic is 210 mm Hg or Diastolic is 110 mm Hg |
| What does pulse measure? | The difference between systolic and diastolic |
| With the ankle-brachial index what is typical to see when reading the results of BP? | Systolic in the leg are typical higher than the systolic of the arms This is why in some cases results of >1.0 is still normal |
| During exercise when does BP response the most? | During the concentric phase of exercise |
| What happens to BP with age? | Pumping of the blood decreases so the body adjusts to this by increasing BP |
| The Korokoff phases of sound of the heart during BP readings | Phase 1=First clear tapping sound, systolic Phase 2=Softer and louder Phase 3=Crisper and louder Phase 4=Muffled and softer Phase 5=Disappears, diastolic |
| Normal BP in an adult? | 120 mm Hg / 80 mm Hg |
| What is prehypertension of an adult? | 120-139 mm Hg / 80-89 mm Hg |
| What is stage 1 hypertension in an adult? | 140-159 mm Hg / 90-99 mm Hg |
| What is stage 2 hypertension in an adult? | 160-179 mm Hg / 100-109 mm Hg |
| What is stage 3 hypertension (hypertension crisis) in an adult? | >180 mm Hg / >110 mm Hg |
| What is the normal BP in an infant? | 80 mm Hg / 50 mm Hg |
| What is normal BP in a child? | 100 mm Hg / 55 mm Hg |
| What is normal BP in a adolescent kid? | 115 mm Hg / 70 mm Hg |
