Systolic - The top number, which is also the higher of the two numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats (when the heart muscle contracts)

Diastolic - The bottom number, which is also the lower of the two numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats (when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood).

I would also like to point out that the diastolic number (bottom) is the value that you should pay particular attention to when you check your BP. Both are important....but the bottom number is the "killer" number. A value of 150/60 isn't as bad as 135/100. Your CV system sustains more damage under a constant 100 mmHg than it will sustain from a much higher number for an instantaneous "beat."

Ok, then go for the wrist model. The arm cuffs are too small for bbyers. My docs med assistant has to switch to a "fat guy" lol cuff when I come in. Lol

I spiked to 164/98 last night. I was freaking out. Thanks TNE. Went "down" to 143/91 this AM. I'm generally 118/78 off cycle. Going to have to get a handle on it ASAP.

2 hours ago i took it in one of those machines at pharmacy. Got 142/82......not a good read since the cuff instructions says it can only accomodate up to 17 inch arm.....had a hard time getting arm in....wife thought it was hysterical.
