Systole is the phase of the cardiac cycle during which the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. The force exerted on the arterial walls during this contraction is called systolic pressure. Diastole is the phase of the cardiac cycle during which the heart relaxes and fills with blood, while asystole refers to the absence of cardiac activity. Hyperbole has no relevance to the question.
