The heart must rest between beats to allow a sufficient amount of blood to be pumped into the heart chambers and out to the rest of the body. The diastolic pressure measures the heart at rest. If the systolic pressure is too high or low then the heart may be working too hard or not hard enough to get blood out to the rest of the body as it should.

The next number that you record is known as the diastolic (bottom number or resting phase) which demonstrates how well the heart is resting after pumping blood.
