Normally, hypertension occurs when both systolic and diastolic blood pressure are higher than the usual. However, in some cases only one of the readings may vary, whereas the other remains the same.

Diastolic dysfunction is related with a preserved contraction of the
heart, in which the heart ejects its volume sufficiently, but faces
difficulty while relaxing adequately during the diastolic phase. As a
result, the heart takes a longer time to fill up than usual, causing an
increase in its filling pressure.
