A member asked:
So its impossible to have an equal diastolic and sytolic pressure? why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Systolic pressure is when the ventricle contracts pumping blood thru the body. Diastole is when the heart relaxes and waits for the ventricle to fill and then pump blood with each beat of the heart.
