What does systolic pressure measure?

  1. Pressure when the heart is at rest

  2. Pressure between heartbeats

  3. Pressure as the heart contracts

  4. Pressure when the heart dilates

The correct answer is: Pressure as the heart contracts

Systolic pressure measures the pressure in your arteries as your heart contracts and pumps blood out to the body. This is the highest pressure in the cardiac cycle, and it indicates the efficiency of the heart's pumping function. Option A is incorrect because the pressure when the heart is at rest is known as diastolic pressure. Option B is incorrect because the pressure between heartbeats is known as mean arterial pressure. Option D is incorrect because the pressure when the heart dilates is known as end diastolic pressure.
