How do pulse pressure and blood pressure differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood pressure: Blood pressure has systolic and diastolic components. The higher number is the systolic when the heart squeezes, the smaller number is the diastolic when heart relaxes. The difference between systolic and diastolic pressures is the pulse pressure.
