What are systolic pressure and diastolic
pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart,
blood pressure reaches its maximum value, the highest
pressure in the cycle is known as systolic pressure. When
the heart relaxes between heartbeats, the lowest blood
pressure is diastolic pressure.
