p| What you should know about blood pressure1. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure values The cardiovascular system has the important function of supplying all organs and tissues in the body with sufficient amounts of blood and of transporting metabolites. To do so, the heart contracts and expands at a regular rate of about 60 to 80 times per minute. The pressure of the flowing blood on the artery walls caused by the heart contracting is termed systolic. The pressure in the ensuing relaxation phase, when the heart refills with blood, is termed diastolic. During daily measurement you determine...
