At what diastolic value is blood pressure considered to be hypotensive?

Below 60

Blood pressure is categorized based on systolic and diastolic measurements. In this case, the question focuses on diastolic values. A diastolic blood pressure reading below 60 mmHg is considered hypotensive. This means that option A, "Below 60," is the correct answer.

It is important to remember that hypotension is defined as a condition in which blood pressure is abnormally low, leading to symptoms like dizziness, fainting, or fatigue. Diastolic values below 60 mmHg fall into this category. The other options are not considered hypotensive values; they either fall within normal or pre-hypertensive ranges.
