Contraction of heart ventricles generates blood pressure. It is the hydrostatic pressure that blood exerts against he wall of a vessel. Rigid vessels maintain blood pressure; less rigid vessels deform and blood pressure is lost.
This pressure â blood pressure â is the result of two forces: The first force (systolic pressure) occurs as blood pumps out of the heart and into the arteries that are part of the circulatory system. The second force (diastolic pressure) is created as the heart rests between heart beats. (These two forces are each represented by numbers in a blood pressure reading.) See how high blood pressure can damage your arteries and heart.
