@pulseperfectmd: There may be a third number hiding in your blood pressure reading. 120/80 → 120 − 80 = 40 mmHg pulse pressure. A consistently widening pulse pressure can sometimes provide clues about arterial stiffness, particularly as we age—but it should always be interpreted alongside the rest of your cardiovascular picture.
