Diastolic blood pressure DBP

Systolic blood pressure (SBP) <220 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <120 mmHg... 

Hypertension (in people without diabetes) is defined as a sustained systolic blood pressure of (SBP) of >140 mmHg, or sustained diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of >90 mmHg (Clinical Knowledge Summaries, 2007). Note Hypertension is considered to be sustained if an initial raised blood pressure measurement persists at two or more subsequent consultations). 

The measurement of blood pressure usually involves the joint measurement of two aspects of arterial blood pressure, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The SBP provides a representation of the pressure of blood as it is ejected from the heart into the body s arteries at each heart beat. The DBP provides a representation of the blood pressure in the arteries in between each heart beat. A healthy blood pressure for a young adult is often represented as "120/80." This is pronounced "one twenty over eighty." In this case, the I" symbol does not represent the division of 120 by 80 to get a value of 1.5 It is simply used to separate the two blood pressure readings. The units of blood pressure are millimeters of mercury (mmHg), so... 

Affinity of selected Oj-AR antagonists for the recombinant animal a,-AR subtypes (pKi= -log,, nM) and functional affinity for the Oj-ARs of vascular and lower urinary tract tissues (pKb= -logj Kb, nM, for inhibition of NA-induced contraction). R.A.= rat aorta RB.A.= rabbit aorta RB.U.= rabbit urethra H.P.=human prostate. The in vivo effects after i.v. administration in the dog model are also listed. Data represent the doses (pg/kg) active in inhibiting by 50% the urethral contractions induced by NA (UP), the doses active in lowering diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 25%, and the ratio between them. The ratios between the in vitro potency (Kb) on rabbit aorta and urethra are also reported (1/2).

Four cardiovascular parameters of interest are stroke volnme, cardiac output (CO), total peripheral resistance of the systemic vasculature (TPR), and blood pressure. Measurements of both systolic blood pressnre (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) are typically presented when discnssing blood pressnre.

When drugs from the main available classes are used as monotherapy at the recommended doses, they produce very similar BP reductions. In general, the sizes of the BP reductions increase with the initial level of BP, but typically the placebo-adjusted reductions average about 4-8% for both SBP-DBP. Thus, for patients with blood pressures of about 160/95 mmHg, the usual reduction produced by monotherapy would be about 7-13 mmHg systolic and 4-8 mmHg diastolic. Clearly, for many patients with hypertension, such reductions in BP would not restore optimal or even nonhypertensive blood pressure levels.
