Answer 1

diolostic blood preasure is associated with the second heart sound

Step-by-step explanation:

Korotkoff sounds are the sounds heard by the health professional who measures the blood pressure with a blood pressure monitor and a stethoscope placed on the patient's brachial artery.

Korotkoff described five types of noise:

* The first sound is a snap corresponding to the systolic pressure. The noise is clear, repetitive on at least two consecutive systoles.

* The second sound is a soft whisper, more or less prolonged, audible between the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure.
