Total peripheral resistance and the diastolic pressure

[Asmaa Mohammad]

Hello,

I came across this line in my textbook:
"Total peripheral resistance (TPR) increases diastolic pressure more than systolic pressure."

I don't understand how the peripheral resistance would increase the diastolic pressure more than the systolic pressure?

Could some one explain that for me?

Thanks!

Can you post the Relevant Equations? There are several equations that apply...

The equation in the book is:
ABP = SV * HR * TPR
(Arterial blood pressure = stroke volume * Heart rate * total peripheral resistance)

But I want to understand the physiological part not the marhematical one.
