Blood Pressure Numbers: What They Mean. Blood pressure numbers include systolic (sis-TOL-ik) and diastolic (di-a-STOL-ik) pressures. Systolic blood pressure is the pressure when the heart beats while pumping blood. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats. You will most often see blood pressure numbers written with the systolic number above or before the diastolic, such as 120/80 mmHg. (The mmHg is millimeters of mercuryâthe units used to measure blood pressure.) The table below shows normal numbers for adults.
The top number refers to the amount of pressure in your arteries during contraction of your heart muscle; this is called âsystolicâ pressure. The bottom number refers to your blood pressure when your heart muscle is between beats; this is called âdiastolicâ pressure.or a normal reading, your blood pressure needs to show a top number thatâs lower than 120, and a bottom number thatâs lower than 80. When both your systolic and diastolic numbers are in these ranges, then you are considered by the American Heart Association (AHA) to be within the normal range for blood pressure.
