That point becomes reading your blood pressure systolic. As the pressure is released from the bladder, you will hear the blood flowing again. The stethoscope is used to listen for the sound of the heartbeat, and no sound indicates no flow. This inflation will stop the blood flow in your arteries. When the bulb is pumped, it inflates the bladder inside the cuff wrapped around your arm. The sphygmomanometer has a bladder, cuff, bulb, and gauge. Typically, they take the reading above your elbow. Healthcare professionals use a stethoscope and a manual sphygmomanometer to measure your blood pressure. You can calculate your predicted maximum heart rate by using the calculation: 220 - (age) = Age Predicted Maximum Heart Rate - or see our Target Heart Rate Calculator and Chart. Check what your heart rate for your age should be. Blood pressure measurement is NOT the same as your heart rate (pulse) or maximum heart rate measurement. When the measurements are written, both are written as one above or before, the other with the systolic being the first number, for example, 120/75 (120 over 75).
Diastolic Pressure (when the heart relaxes).Systolic Pressure (when the heart beats).Blood pressure is always given as two numbers
The term blood pressure generally refers to your arterial pressure, i.e., the pressure in the larger arteries, arteries being the blood vessels that take blood away from the heart. The pressure of the circulating blood decreases as blood moves through your arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and veins.
