a systolic bp value is the pressure when the blood pressure is at the end of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are contracting.

blood pressure





























blood pressure (bp) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. most of this pressure is due to work done by the heart by pumping blood through the circulatory system. used without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the pressure in large arteries of the systemic circulation. blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic pressure (maximum during one heartbeat) over diastolic pressure (minimum in between two heartbeats) and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmhg), above the surrounding atmospheric pressure.
blood pressure
septic shock is diagnosed if there is low blood pressure (bp) that does not respond to treatment. this means that intravenous fluid administration alone is not enough to maintain a patient's bp. diagnosis of septic shock is made when systolic blood pressure is less than 90mm hg, a mean arterial pressure (map) is less than 70 mm hg, or a systolic bp decreases 40 mm hg or more without other causes for low bp.
