Accepted Answer

The typical systolic pressure for a normal adult is 120 mm Hg. This means the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts and sends blood out to the body is around 120 millimeters of mercury. While this can vary based on factors such as age, gender, and activity level, 120 mm Hg is considered the standard normal range.
