Pulse Pressure: Difference between the systolic and diastolic measurements (Remember systolic is the number on the top of the ratio) Ex: 120/80 means that you would have a pulse pressure of 40 More than a pulse pressure of 60 indicates that you have a higher risk of cardiac problems

Pulse: Alternating expansion and contraction of an artery as blood flows through it. There are 8 main pulse or pressure points in the human body.
