PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Diastolic blood pressure is measured when the heart ventricles relax. A systolic pressure of 115 millimeters of mercury is considered normal, as is a diastolic pressure of 70. Commonly, this pressure would be stated as 115 over 70.

Detailed explanation-2: -Systolic pressure is the maximum blood pressure during contraction of the ventricles; diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure recorded just prior to the next contraction. The blood pressure is usually written as the systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure (e.g., 120/80 mm Hg).
