Video: Two types of blood pressure in the body

Blood pressure is the blood pressure that affects the contraction of the arterial wall, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Blood pressure increases or decreases depending on the heartbeat.

Blood pressure increases or decreases depending on the heartbeat. Blood pressure is highest in the systole when the heart shrinks to push blood through the artery, which creates your systolic blood pressure.

When the heart rests between beats, blood pressure drops to the lowest level called diastolic blood pressure.

A typical healthy body has systolic blood pressure ranging from 90-120 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure from 60-80mm Hg.
