What does the diastolic blood pressure number mean? The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. A normal diastolic blood pressure number is 80 or less. A diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 is normal but higher than ideal. A diastolic blood pressure number of 90 or higher, on repeated measurements, is considered to be hypertension or high blood pressure.
Measuring blood pressure. The 'systolic' reading is the pressure at which the pulsations are first heard as the cuff deflates. The 'diastolic' reading is the pressure at which the pulsations have completely disappeared after the cuff has deflated. Record the blood pressure reading in the person's record to the nearest 2mmHg.
