Blood pressure is the measurement of the force of blood pushing against the walls of thearteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly fluctuating during the course of the cardiaccycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the systolic blood pressure, andrepresents the pressure in the artery when the heart is beating. The lowest pressure is thediastolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is at rest.Both the systolic and the diastolic pressure are necessary for a physician to evaluate thestatus of a patient\'s blood pressure. Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety or thetime of day, can influence your blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in themornings and increases from the afternoon to the evening.
