Blood pressure (abbreviated BP) is the pressure of blood against the walls of a vessel. The rhythmic beating nature of that pressure, caused by the alternating ventricular contraction and relaxation in the heart, is the pulse (abbreviated P).
Blood pressure has two values - the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure.
When the heart beats, it pushes blood through the arteries to all of the tissues in the body. It is at this point that the pressure from the blood against the artery walls is at its highest and this value is the systolic blood pressure.
When the heart is at rest, in between beats, the pressure on the artery walls is much lower and this value is known as the diastolic blood pressure.
Systolic blood pressure.
The systolic pressure is the highest pressure in the arteries.
The medical term for the resting pressure is 'Diastolic pressure'
Systolic: The blood pressure when the heart is contracting.
Diastolic: The blood pressure when the heart rests between beats.

Angioplasty or balloon angioplasty is the medical term meaning passage of a balloon catheter through the lumen of an occluded coronary vessel to compress plaque against the arterial walls.
arterial pressure (tensiunea arteriala)
The systolic pressure is the highest pressure measured against the walls of blood vessels.
Mean Arterial Pressure is the most common meaning, although some use it for morning after pill (mostly in common language).
atheroma
oximetry
Decompression is the medical term meaning removal of pressure.
Diastole is the lowest blood pressure measured in the peripheral arterial supply.
The bulging of an arterial wall due to weakness in the wall is arterial aneurysm (artery + pertaining to ++ dilation). Both words are of Greek origin.
Anoxia is the medical term meaning absence of oxygen. an/ox/ia without/oxygen/condition of
Hypertensive is the medical term meaning pertaining to hypertension, or high blood pressure.
Isobaric is the term meaning equal pressure. I don't recall seeing this word used in a medical context, though.
