The pressure measured when the heart contracts and pumps the blood into the vessels is called systolic blood pressure, and the pressure measured when the heart relaxes and fills up with blood is called diastolic blood pressure.

The ideal blood pressure for men and women (even for women over 40 and for women over 50) can be slightly different.
