How to spell DISTOLIC correctly?

If you meant to type "distolic" but actually needed to refer to blood pressure, the correct term is "diastolic". It represents the lower number in a blood pressure reading and represents the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats. It is important to use the correct spelling for accurate medical discussions.

• diastolic My heart rate is 73 beats per minute, which is in the diastolic range.
• systolic I have a high systolic blood pressure.
