Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The diastolic blood pressure is the minimum pressure experienced in the aorta when the heart is relaxing before ejecting blood into the aorta from the left ventricle (approximately 80 mmHg). Normal pulse pressure is, therefore, approximately 40 mmHg.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the new definition, if one’s resting blood pressure (measured properly) is more than 120/80, it should be considered “elevated.” And if one’s BP is more than 130/80, then the person with that blood pressure should receive a diagnosis of hypertension.
