This is called diastolic pressure,” explains the Library of Medicine. Medline Plus.
“Your blood pressure reading uses these two numbers. Usually, the systolic number is placed before or above the diastolic number. For example, 120/80 means a systolic pressure of 120 and a diastolic pressure of 80″, adds the entity.
