    Diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure the circulatory system experiences and can be detected as change in the sound of blood flow when using a sphygmomanometer (stehoscope & inflatable cuff). Diastolic pressure is due to the elasticity of the arteries. They rebound between contractions, typically maintaining a minimum pressure of 80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury).
