Systolic blood pressure: is the pressure of blood flowing through the arteries every time the heart contracts. When the heart contracts (squeezes blood out of the heart) it is known as systole. Diastolic blood pressure: is your blood pressure when your heart is relaxed (resting time between each heart beat). This is known as diastolic. Hope this helped:-)

The difference between systolic and diastolic pressures?

Systolic BP should always be higher than diastolic BP.The number on the top is the systolic blood pressure and the number on the bottom is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic BP is the pressure in the arteries right when the blood is pumped out of the heart, therefore the pressure is bigger. The diastolic BP is the pressure in the arteries after the blood has been pumped out and before the next heart contraction. At this moment, the heart is relaxed and the pressure is much lower.
