blood pressures

Systolic and diastolic

Blood pressures is the plural of blood pressure, the force exerted by circulating blood against artery walls.

The plural typically refers to multiple readings or measurements: The nurse recorded my blood pressures over the past month.

It may also distinguish systolic and diastolic values: Both blood pressures were elevated.
