The maximum pressure at which the blood leaves the heart through the main artery (Aorta) during contraction phase is called systolic pressure. The minimum pressure in the arteries during relaxation phase of the heart is called the diastolic pressure.
The normal blood pressure values are:
Systolic pressure: 120 mm Hg. Diastolic pressure: 80 mm Hg.
