Memahami Bacaan Tekanan Darah (Blood Pressure)

Hari ini hari kelima abah ditahan di hospital. Kata doktor semalam, hari ini mungkin sudah boleh keluar. Harap-harapnya begitulah. Bacaan darah dan tekanan darah abah juga baik, cuma pagi ini agak menurun sedikit.

Bacaan BP abah pagi ini; 145/58.

Saya tak tahu maksudnya.

Saya sendiri sudah beberapa kali juga pernah mengambil bacaan BP ini, tetapi masih belum faham apa maksud nombor-nombor yang diberi.

Jadi, hari ini saya google dan simpan untuk rujukan sendiri.


Memahami Bacaan Blood Pressure
Carta Bacaan Blood Pressure


In a blood pressure reading, the systolic number always comes first, and then the diastolic number. For example, your numbers may be "120 over 80" or written as 120/80.

What Does the Systolic Blood Pressure Number Mean?

When your heart beats, it squeezes and pushes blood through your arteries to the rest of your body. This force creates pressure on those blood vessels, and that's your systolic blood pressure.
A normal systolic pressure is below 120.

A reading of 140 or more is high blood pressure (also called hypertension).


What Does the Diastolic Blood Pressure Number Mean?

The diastolic reading, or the bottom number, is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. This is the time when the heart fills with blood and gets oxygen.

A normal diastolic blood pressure is lower than 80.

90 or higher is high blood pressure.
