==Overview==  
==Overview==  
A wide [[pulse pressure]] is defined as a difference between the [[systolic blood pressure]] and the [[diastolic blood pressure]] that exceeds 60 - 70 mm Hg.
*The difference between systolic and dyastolic blood pressure is called pulse pressure.
*A blood pressure difference greater than 60 - 70 mmHg is considered wide pulse pressure.
*Frequently resulting in an increase in stroke volume.
