A member asked:
Can you please define normal blood pressure, and what do the numbers mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood pressure : It means the pressure in the arterial system when the heart is actively pumping blood in, and the pressure when the heart is relaxed and filling. It varies with stroke volume of the heart and resistance of the outflow of the blood by the blood vessels in the body.
