Of what value is the mean when it comes to monitoring blood pressure? if the mean over a given time period is 132/84 but the diastolic spikes to 96 or 101 of what value is the mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood pressure fluxuates somewhat in all people, but ideally the average blood pressure should be under 130/80 to minimize damage to the blood vessels feeding the heart, brain, and kidneys. Spikes of higher blood pressure over 130/80 should be rare, but if they are becoming a normal occurrence, then treatment may need to be considered.
