heart and/or blood vessels and includes heart attack, stroke,
angina, high blood pressure and peripheral arterial disease.
- Approximately 2300 Americans die each day from Cardiovascular
Disease.
- In 2010, the cost of Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke in
the United States is estimated to be $503.2 billion.
- Cardiovascular Disease claims the lives of more women than
deaths from cancer, accidents, chronic lower respiratory disease
and alzheimers combined.

Diastolic blood pressure is the bottom number given when your blood pressure is measured.

Close
The diastolic measurement represents the pressure in the vessels when the heart is at rest. If your blood pressure measured 120 over 80, 80 would be your diastolic measurement
