In the past, only the bottom number, or diastolic pressure was included.

Normal diastolic pressure for an adult is 79 or lower.

The diastolic blood pressure cannot be estimated by this method.

The reading on the gauge when blood flow can no longer be heard is the diastolic pressure.

By contrast, diastolic blood pressure increased until the age 51 years and then showed a decline.

When this noise goes away, that indicates the diastolic blood pressure.

No significant differences were found between the two groups of patients for either systolic or diastolic blood pressure.

When we lowered blood pressure, diastolic, to below 70, the risk of heart attack doubled.

For many years, experts thought that diastolic pressure was the more important factor in preventing illness and death.

Diastolic pressure, the lower number, is the force against the heart's wall when it relaxes and blood flows in.
