Systole: noun. The phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle contracts and pumps blood into the arteries.
Systolic: adjective.
Blood pressure: (Systolic) 120/80 (diastolic: The phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and allows the chambers to fill with blood.)

I hate to be rude but there are online dictionaries that are a lot more reliable/accurate than the answers you will get on here (I'm not saying anyone is wrong). It would've been faster to find your answer this way, too. Just a suggestion
