Whereas Systolic pressure means the peak in blood pressure when your heart contracts, Diastolicpressure is the pressure when your heart relaxes, between beats.

Low diastolic pressure usually means a low total volume of blood in the vascular system for the heart to pump. The most common causes of this would be dehydration or hemorrhage.
