Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure remaining in the arteries when the heart is at rest between contractions (after the pulse wave has passed through). Venous pressure is the pressure in the veins, which is lower than arterial pressure. Systolic blood pressure is the maximum pressure exerted by the heart during a contraction. Resting blood pressure is a general term that refers to the pressure in the arteries when the body is at rest.
