Normal Range of Blood Pressure Pulse Pressure
Disease description:
My father has hypertension, so I would like to know: What is the normal range for pulse pressure (the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure)?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Man
The normal pulse pressure range is typically between 20 mmHg and 60 mmHg. A pulse pressure exceeding 60 mmHg during blood pressure measurement generally indicates widened pulse pressure, whereas a value below 20 mmHg usually signifies narrowed pulse pressure. Pulse pressure measurements should be performed by qualified physicians at a reputable medical facility, as inaccurate measurements may affect the reliability of results. In daily life, diet should be light and low in salt and fat.
