Which Blood Pressure Reading Is More Important? Systolic Vs Diastolic

In this video, I discuss the significance of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as tools for determining the risk of developing heart disease.
I look at which of the two, Systolic or Diastolic, is a more important or more reliable tool for predicting future heart disease and stroke based on past study data.

Interesting - I had always thought it was the diastolic number I needed to worry about and that the systolic is the number that changes according to what you're doing - eg taking exercise will raise it, getting stressed will raise it etc etc.

Mine is at 112/54 or sometimes 110/56-60 should I be worried and how can this be controlled? since my diastolic is low.
