Blood pressure Defined

There are two measurements of blood pressure. "Diastolic" pressure (the bottom number) means the base level of pressure in the arterial system when the heart is momentarily relaxed between beats. "Systolic" pressure (the top number) is the force with which each pulse of blood presses against the arterial walls, as the heaart pumps blood out.

This definition is in context to Cardiovascular Health. See more contextual defintions for Blood pressure.
