The systolic pressure is the maximum pressure in an artery at the moment when the heart is beating and pumping blood through the body. The diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure in an artery in the moments between beats when the heart is resting. Systolic pressure-Blood pressure within the arteries when the heart muscle is contracting.
