the measurement that could be used as a partial indication of effective treatment and management is: Diastolic blood pressure below 90 mm Hg

For a 71-year old, a normal diastolic blood pressure should be between 70 - 80 mmHg.A diastolic blood pressure between 80-89 is considered normal but higher than ideal, while a diastolic blood pressure above 90 mm Hg is considered as high
