pulse pressure

Recent work suggests that a high pulse pressure is an important risk factor for heart disease.

Presently he felt the pulsing pressure of her hands upon his head!

In healthy individuals the pulse pressure will typically return to normal within about 10 minutes.

Probably all right, as he recalled; these units ran with really low pulse pressure.

A third measurement, pulse pressure, may also be important as an indicator of severity.

This would result in an increase pulse pressure.

Usually, the resting pulse pressure in healthy adults, sitting position, is about 30-40 mmHg.

Pulse pressure readings can be taken on a home blood pressure monitoring device.

In this way, the pulse pressure is reduced from what it would be if the aorta wasn't compliant.

Pulse pressure was calculated as the difference between systolic and diastolic pressures.

The most common cause of a low (narrow) pulse pressure is a drop in left ventricular stroke volume.

Heightened pulse pressure is also a risk factor for the development of atrial fibrillation.

The carotid has fresh arterial blood under pulsing pressure.

This can build up due to isolated systolic hypertension with a widened pulse pressure.

The difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure is called the pulse pressure.

A pulse pressure is considered abnormally low if it is less than 25% of the systolic value.

Pulse pressure is the pressure that is felt when feeling the pulse.

One observed mechanism for this phenomenon is increased pulse pressure, which increases stretching of the arterial walls.

Narrowing pulse pressure might also be observed.

These catheter-tipped manometers made possible depiction of the changes in pulse pressure waveforms with age.

If the aorta becomes rigid in conditions such as arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis, the pulse pressure would be very high.

Huntly Millar's contributions to the non-invasive measurement of pulse pressure are well known.

This results in a decrease in stroke volume, contributing to the decreased pulse pressure and increased heart rate as described above.

The more stretched the aorta, the greater the pulse pressure (PP)

The result is an elevated pulse pressure (normal is 40mm Hg), due to catecholamine release.
