Answers from Sheldon G. Sheps, M.D. Yes. If you have a diastolic number â the bottom number of a blood pressure measurement â less than 90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and a systolic number â the top number of a blood pressure measurement â greater than 140 mm Hg, you have a common type of high blood pressure called isolated systolic hypertension.
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.
