The systolic blood pressure is the measure of blood pressure while the heart is beating. Often, patients seeking to lower their sistolic blood pressure become confused, and seek improper treatments for their diastolic pressure. The diastolic pressure is the measure of blood pressure while the heart is at rest. To measure the sistolic blood pressure, a device called a sphygmomanometer is used. Many patients are familiar with this device, when getting their blood pressure checked, at routine visits to their physician. Systolic blood pressure keeps blood flowing through the vessel branches, so that cells get the oxygen and nutrients they require, and so waste matter can be removed. If the systolic pressure is too low, the blood is not able to carry oxygen and nutrients through the branches, and therefore is unable to remove waste.
