so when your blood pressure checked and it spits out two numbers let's just say it's 125 over 79 what that means is when your heart is doing the squeeze and there's a greater force as blood is leaving the aorta the left ventricle via the aorta it's whatever number I said I've already forgotten anything 124 millimeters of mercury is the pressure and when that ventricle relaxes and begins to fill through the left atrium the pressure drops to whatever else I said I forget like I said 79 millimeters per Mercury
