Definition
The phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and the chambers fill with blood, contrasting with systole (contraction).
Etymology
From Greek 'dia-' (apart/through) + 'stellein' (to place/send), literally 'to separate or expand.' The term emerged in 16th-century medical terminology through anatomical study.
Kelly Says
Your resting blood pressure number (the lower number) measures diastolic pressure—that's when your heart is relaxing and your arteries experience their lowest pressure load!
