Diastolic Blood Pressure
Diastolic blood pressure is the lower level of pressure in the blood vessels when the heart is at rest between beats. It can be an important indicator of cardiovascular health and if monitored regularly can help identify changes that may indicate the presence of a medical condition. When high, diastolic blood pressure can lead to increased risk for stroke, heart attack, and other heart-related complications. By keeping diastolic blood pressure within the normal range, individuals can reduce the risk of hypertension, heart failure, and stroke. Regular monitoring and healthy lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can help maintain healthy diastolic blood pressure levels.
