Detailed explanation-1: -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. Generally, a pulse pressure greater than 40 mm Hg is unhealthy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pulse pressures of 50 mmHg or more can increase your risk of heart disease, heart rhythm disorders, stroke and more. Higher pulse pressures are also thought to play a role in eye and kidney damage from diseases like diabetes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The normal pulse pressure is 30-40 mmHg. A pressure that exceeds this is called a wide pulse pressure. A pressure that is smaller than this (<25 mmHg) is a narrow pulse pressure.
Detailed explanation-4: -Low (narrow) A pulse pressure is considered abnormally low if it is less than 25% of the systolic value. If the pulse pressure is extremely low, i.e. 25 mmHg or less, it may indicate low stroke volume, as in Congestive Heart Failure and/or cardiogenic shock.
Detailed explanation-5: -What are normal blood pressure numbers? A normal blood pressure level is less than 120/80 mmHg.
