Diastolic pressure is the lowest arterial pressure in the arteries during ventricular relaxation when no blood is being ejected from the left ventricle.
#Id: 5292
Systolic pressure is the highest arterial pressure in the arteries after blood has been ejected from the left ventricle during systole
#Id: 5293
The “blip” in the arterial pressure curve, called the dicrotic notch (or incisura), is produced when the aortic valve closes
#Id: 5294
Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.
#Id: 5295
Mean arterial pressure is the average pressure in a
complete cardiac cycle and is calculated as follows:
Mean arterial pressure=Diastolic pressure+ 1/3 Pulse pressure
