What is meant by a diastolic blood pressure of 100 mm Hg?
The maximum pressure at the start of the aorta during ventricular contraction
The minimum pressure at the start of the aorta before the start of a ventricular contraction
The maximum pressure at the start of the aorta and pulmonary trunk during ventricular contraction
The minimum blood pressure measured when resting
The minimum pressure at the start of the aorta before the start of a ventricular contraction
Diastolic pressure refers to the lowest blood pressure measurement, and this occurs just before the start of ventricular contraction.
