systolic/diastolic measured by blood pressure cuff
during the period when the heart is relaxed between beats and pressure is lowest
The blood pressure measured when the ventricles relax is called diastolic blood pressure. It is the lower number in a blood pressure reading, representing the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between contractions.
this is called the diastolic pressure meaning when the heart is in diastole. The diastolic number is the bottom number in common blood pressure. i.e. in a pressure 120/80 the lowest measured pressure is 80mmHg during ventricular relaxation
The measurement between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called pulse pressure. It is calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. Typically, a healthy pulse pressure is around 40 mmHg, but this can vary depending on individual factors.
systolic
Diastolic
The systolic pressure is the upper number, while diastolic is the lower number.His diastolic pressure climbed to 120 in a blood pressure of 220/120.The woman's diastolic blood pressure fell with a large gap between the 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.
Diastolic refers to the moment when the heart muscle is relaxed between contractions. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure at that moment - the lower of the two blood pressure numbers. (e.g. if the blood pressure is 120/80, the diastolic pressure is 80.) it is the bottom number of a blood pressure reading. it measures the force of blood in the chambers of the heart: the atria and ventricles.
it is systolic I remember it by Lub-Dub like clapping your hands.
The diastolic sound in blood pressure is primarily caused by the closure of the heart's semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) at the end of ventricular systole. This closure creates a brief vibration in the blood and surrounding tissues, which can be detected as a sound using a stethoscope. In clinical practice, the diastolic pressure is measured at the point where these sounds disappear (Korotkoff sound phase V), indicating the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats.
