[Definiton of] Blood pressure

The pressure of blood in the circulatory system

[Definiton of] Systolic Pressure

The pressure in blood vessels when the heart contracts

[Definiton of] Diastolic Pressure

The pressure in blood vessels when the heart is at rest (between beats)

Units used to measure blood pressure

mmHg (millimeters of mercury)

[Definiton of] Heart Murmur

[Definiton of] Sounds of Korotkoff

Characteristic sounds of resumption of blood flow to forearm when using a sphygmomanometer

[Definiton of] Pulse Pressure

The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure (PP= S - D)
