Decoding the Numbers: Systolic vs. Diastolic
Understanding the distinction between these two values is essential for interpreting your cardiovascular health: A blood pressure reading consists of two numbers, typically written as a ratio (e.g., 120/80 mm Hg).
Systolic Pressure (The Top Number)
This measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats and pumps blood out. It is the higher of the two numbers and is often given more attention as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease in people over 50.
Diastolic Pressure (The Bottom Number)
This measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.
If your readings are consistently elevated, it means your heart is working too hard to pump blood, which can damage your arteries over time. The good news is that blood pressure is highly manageable with the right combination of lifestyle adjustments and, if necessary, medical intervention tailored by your cardiologist.
