    Glossary Diastolic Blood Pressure

    pressure in arteries when heart rests between beats

    Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. It is the lower of the two numbers in a blood pressure reading, with the other being systolic blood pressure. For example, in a reading of 120/80 mmHg, the 80 represents the diastolic pressure. This measurement is crucial for assessing cardiovascular health, as consistently high diastolic pressure can indicate an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
