HI
Well come to HCM
No that is not the case as you are thinking but 70 is the diastolic pressure and diastole is the condition of ventricles when this comes in state of diastole means it is start filling of ventricles with blood and this is state of declining pressure from systole to diastole (Better can be understood with graph "Slope") hope this could helps you in understanding, take care.
