What is systolic hypertension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High blood pressure: Blood pressure is a systolic number over a diastolic number: the heart never fully goes down to 0 pressure so there is a squeeze pressure and a coast or relax pressure. Systolic hypertension means the top number is too high.
