**Pulse pressure or the difference between upper and lower blood pressure (BP)** is an important indicator of the cardiovascular system, which evaluates the strength of heart contractions and its efficiency. Typically, pulse pressure is equal to the difference between the upper and lower pressures measured over a few seconds. Normally, this figure should not exceed 50 mmHg. Art.

Since measuring blood pressure frequently can be quite tiring for a person, researchers only do it in some cases. Usually this is enough to assess the functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. This may include measuring:
