This is recorded as the diastolic blood pressure.
13.
Hypertensive patients treated by nurse practitioners saw greater reductions in diastolic blood pressure than patients in the doctor group.
14.
Decreasing saliva nitrite in volunteers that already had elevated levels, a rise in systolic and diastolic blood pressure resulted.
15.
However, when compared to a placebo, rostafuroxin had no effect on systolic or diastolic blood pressure or on urinary sodium.
16.
In general, it is easier to lower systolic blood pressure with medication than it is to lower diastolic blood pressure.

18.
Pulse pressure ( the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure ) is frequently increased in older people with hypertension.
19.
To be below 140 / 90, systolic blood pressure must be below 140 and diastolic blood pressure must be below 90.
20.
Mean arterial pressure is most commonly measured using a sphygmomanometer, and calculating a specialized average between systolic and diastolic blood pressures.
