When is diastolic blood pressure measured?

In normal health care two types of blood pressure is messured; the diastolic and the systolic. The systolic blood pressure is the pressure the heart generates when it contracts and sends out a pulse of blood through the arteries. The diastolic pressure is the pressure that resides in the arteries between heartbeats. Typical systolic pressure: 120 mmHg Typical diastolic pressure: 80 mmHg. Another way of measuring blood pressure is by calculating mean arterial blood pressure MABP. This is calculated by the formula: MABP = 1/3 SBP + 2/3 DBP SBP & DBP being systolic and diastolic blood-pressure. For a person with 120 / 80 mmHg the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) will be: MABP = (1/3x120) + (2/3x80) = 93mmHg. The reason for the systolic being 1/3 and the diastolic being 2/3, is that the systolic only presides for 1/3 of the time. The rest of the time, between two pulses, the diastolic pressure rules, and that's why it's 2/3.
