About Blood Pressure

What are systolic pressure and diastolic
pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the
heart, the blood pressure reaches its maximum value
in the cycle, which is called systolic pressure. When
the ventricles relax, the blood pressure reaches its
minimum value in the cycle, which is called diastolic
pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure
classification?
This chart shows the standard blood pressure
classification published by American Heart
Association (AHA).
