What systolic value defines elevated blood pressure?

  1. Below 60

  2. 120-129

  3. 130-139

  4. 140 or higher

The correct answer is: Below 60

The correct answer is A. Below 60. The systolic blood pressure value that defines elevated blood pressure is actually not mentioned in the options provided. The options list ranges starting from 120 and above, which are typically considered in the normal to high blood pressure range. A systolic blood pressure reading below 60 is extremely low and would be a cause for concern, indicating hypotension rather than elevated blood pressure.
