120/80 is recorded as a blood pressure measurement. What does this mean? A. systolic pressure is 120 and diastolic pressure is 80. B. left ventricular systolic pressure is 120 and left ventricular diastolic pres- sure is 80. C. the average of the left and right ventricular systolic pressure is 120 and the average of the left and right ventricular diastolic pressure is 80. D. left ventricular diastolic pressure is 120 and left ventricular systolic pres- sure is 80.
Option B. 120/80 is recorded as a blood pressure measurement means that the left ventricular systolic pressure is 120 and left ventricular diastolic pressure is 80.
