   Pulse pressure is calculated as the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure. [3] [4]The systemic pulse pressure is approximately proportional to stroke volume, or the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole (pump action) and inversely proportional to the compliance (similar to elasticity) of the aorta.

   In adults, a normal blood pressure is 120/80, with 120 being the systolic and 80 being the diastolic reading.

The measurement of these pressures is now ...

   A simple view of the hemodynamics of systemic arterial pressure is based around mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse pressure. Most influences on blood pressure can be understood in terms of their effect on cardiac output, [77] systemic vascular resistance, or arterial stiffness (the inverse of arterial compliance). Cardiac output is the ...
