diastolic pressure remains relatively constant when comparing with systolic pressure. Diastolic pressure is measured when both ventricles of heart relax and blood is refilling into the heart. As the volume of blood is fixed‚ the pressure created on arteries is nearly the same during diastole. 3. mean arterial pressure remain relatively constant The mean arterial pressure increases from 88.333 mmHg at rest to 91.667 mmHg during slight
