diastólískri

Diastolískri refers to a state or condition related to diastole, the relaxation phase of the heartbeat. During diastole, the heart muscle relaxes, and the chambers of the heart refill with blood. This phase is crucial for the proper functioning of the circulatory system as it allows the heart to adequately fill before it contracts again to pump blood throughout the body.

In the context of blood pressure measurement, diastolic pressure is the lower number recorded. It represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. This value is important for assessing cardiovascular health. Persistently elevated diastolic pressure can indicate hypertension, a condition that increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Conversely, abnormally low diastolic pressure can also be a cause for concern and may be associated with conditions like shock or severe blood loss. Understanding diastolískri is therefore fundamental to comprehending cardiac function and blood pressure regulation.
