Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Therefore,
Pulse pressure = systolic blood pressure - diastolic blood pressure
Here, systolic blood pressure = 90 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure = 60 mm Hg
Therefore, pulse pressure = 90 mm Hg - 60 mm Hg = 30 mm Hg.
The heart rate and ejection fraction do not have any direct relationship with pulse pressure.
