Does the spread between the systolic and diastolic readings provide any
indication of heart health - specifically with a lowered diasystolic?
For example, if one had average readings of 120/80 we might consider
this "normal": what if the reading was 120/70? Or 120/60?

There's actually quite little info on this in the archives, but here's the direct link to the thread
that most directly deals with the "pulse width" (tho I think it would be more accurate to call it
"pressure width"😉, for anyone else who might be interested:<groups.google.comgroupsOpen ↗
8&selm=35363094.D455BE2D%40emory.edu&rnum=3>Dr. Chung - my next question is:
Is there any desirability for a low systolic in relation to diastolic (ex. 105/80) or the other way
around (ex. 120/65)? Does it make any difference to determining health one way or the other? -
