No, diastole is the period when a particular chamber of the heart relaxes. the highest pressure period is during systole.
The pressure is highest in the arteries and lowest in the veins.
Diastole is when a given chamber of the heart is relaxing. There is atrial diastole and ventricular diastole. Most of the time when talking about diastole we are referring to the ventricular because that is when we measure the diastolic (low) pressure in your systemic arteries, usually the brachial artery.
diastole
The elastic layer of the arteries maintains blood pressure by stretching at each systole and recoiling at each diastole. This helps to smooth pressure surges.

Blood pressure in the arteries is greatest during systole. Systole is the period of heart contraction, while diastole is the period of heart relaxation.

diastole
Systole is the phase during which the heart contracts resulting in the movement of blood to the peripheral parts of the body. The contractile force causes increase in the pressure of the arteries, greater than the diastole which makes it possible for the blood to reach the body.
no arteries are highest
Coronary arteries primarily receive blood supply during diastole when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood. This is because during systole, when the heart is contracting to push blood out, the coronary arteries can get compressed which reduces blood flow to the heart muscle.
