Question

What main artery would be affected by a high systolic blood pressure number?

Answer 1

The main artery that would be affected by a high systolic blood pressure number would be the aorta.

Step-by-step explanation:

Systolic BP puts pressure on the arteries as the ventricoles contract and push blood out of the heart. The aorta is where the blood leaves the heart to oxygenate the blood throughout the body.

Answer 2

I think the artery that will be affected is the Coronary artery. Systolic blood pressure measures the pressure in your blood vessels when the herat beets, it is indicated by the first number on a blood pressure reading. Diastolic blood pressure on the other hand measures the pressure in the blood when the heart is a rest between beats. A blood pressure less than 120/80 mmHg is normal.
