A member asked:
What can cause a diastolic number to drop from an average of 85 down to 61 without a change in the average systolic number?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diastolic bp: The first thing would be blood pressure medications which at times can have a selective effect on diastolic BP over systolic. There are other condition which widen the gap btwn the two number like aortic valve regurgitation , an av fistula which is an abnormal connection btwn an artery and vein.
