Question

In a healthy adult man, the normal diastolic pressure is __________mm Hg:

• A. 80
• B. 90
• C. 100
• D. 120

Answer 1

The correct option is A

80

The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. A normal diastolic blood pressure number is 80 or less. A diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 is normal but higher than ideal.
