#blood_pressure__bloodpressure  the pressure of the circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels; results from the systole of the left ventricle of the heart; sometimes measured for a quick evaluation of a person's health; "adult blood pressure is considered normal at 120/80 where the first number is the systolic pressure and the second is the diastolic pressure"
  supertype:  #vital_sign  #pressure_level
  part of:  #circulation
  subtype:  #systolic_pressure  the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) during the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart
  subtype:  #diastolic_pressure__diastolicpressure  the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) after the contraction of the heart while the chambers of the heart refill with blood
  subtype:  #arterial_pressure  the pressure of the circulating blood on the arteries; "arterial pressure is the product of cardiac output and vascular resistance"
  subtype:  #venous_pressure  the pressure exerted on the walls of the veins by the circulating blood
