Pulse Pressure Calculator

Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic blood pressure (the pressure when your heart beats) and diastolic blood pressure (the pressure when your heart rests between beats). It's calculated as: Pulse Pressure = Systolic BP - Diastolic BP.

Normal pulse pressure is typically between 30-60 mmHg. Values above 60 mmHg may indicate increased cardiovascular risk, while values below 30 mmHg may suggest heart function issues. However, individual variations exist based on age, health conditions, and other factors.

Pulse pressure is an important cardiovascular health indicator. High pulse pressure can indicate arterial stiffness and increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. It's often used alongside other blood pressure measurements for comprehensive health assessment.

This calculator uses the standard medical formula (Systolic - Diastolic) and provides accurate mathematical calculations. However, pulse pressure interpretation should be done in consultation with healthcare professionals, as individual health factors and medical history are important considerations.

If your pulse pressure is outside the normal range, consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation. They can assess your overall cardiovascular health, consider other factors, and provide appropriate medical advice or treatment recommendations based on your individual situation.
