SYSTOLIC

Hypertension
The systolic pressure is the highest pressure measured against the walls of blood vessels.
Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.
LBP. Low Blood Pressure aka HypotensionLBP - hypotension
A drug that can be used to reduce blood pressure.
Diastolic pressure.
Diastole is the term meaning the period of ventricular relaxation with the lowest blood pressure. The diastolic number is the second or bottom number in the blood pressure reading, and it is always the lowest.
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.blood pressure
