Education. All physicians, including surgeons, must first complete an undergraduate degree program, usually in a science area such as biology or chemistry. Following undergraduate school, you then must complete four years of medical school and a three-year residency.
For most people, perfect BP is 120/80, which means that the systolic number is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 80. When wanting to know if a person has perfect blood pressure, it is best to check it various times throughout the day as it can change depending on the time of day and what the person had been doing prior to checking their BP.
View All. For a long time, normal blood pressure was defined as 120/80 mm Hg (systolic/diastolic). Recently, however, the American Heart Association revised its guidelines about what an optimal blood pressure range is, and when blood pressure is considered too high or too low. While 120/80 used to be considered normal, the new guidelines define three levels of abnormal blood pressure values. 120-139 / 80-89 is now considered to be âprehypertensionâ (or âalmost high blood pressure), and doctors are watching blood pressures in this range more carefully than in the past.
