Higher pulse rate generally means higher blood pressure for the opposite reason. However, if blood pressure gets too low, the heart will pump faster to try and raise it back up (ie, if you lose a lot of blood, your pulse rate increases).<br><b>References : </b><br> Lower pulse rate results in lower blood pressure because there is less pumping of the heart, and therefore less resistance against the arterial walls (which causes blood pressure).
