The pumping action of the heart generates pulsatile blood flow, which is conducted into the arteries, across the micro-circulation and eventually, back via the venous system to the heart. During each heartbeat, systemic arterial blood pressure varies between a maximum and a minimum pressure.

Endemic diseases are often confused with epidemics. However, an epidemic refers to an outbreak of a disease. An epidemic occurs when a disease is spreading through one or more populations. In contrast, an endemic disease is one that is constantly present in a group or geographic area. Pandemics are world wide epidemics. Under certain circumstances, an epidemic can lead to a disease becoming endemic. Endemic diseases are not always present at high levels.
