What can low diastolic pressure mean?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not much: A lower diastolic number means nothing unless it's less than what's expected to be normal for a particular patient, based in overall health and age.

Several causes: Advanced generalized arteriosclerosis, severe aortic insufficiency, thyrotoxicosis, anemia or measurement artifact are the most frequent culprits.
