What is systole phase of the heart?
Refers to the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart is in its contracted state. This phase of the cardiac cycle contributes to the upper number in blood pressure readings, called the "systolic blood pressure." A value of greater than 140 on three or more different readings over time is used to define hypertension
What are the definition or meaning of diastole?
definiton or meaning of diastole : Refers to the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart is relaxed. This phase of the cardiac cycle contributes to the lower number in blood pressure readings, called the "diastolic blood pressure."
