A pulse pressure is considered abnormally low if it is less than 25% of the systolic value. [2] If the pulse pressure is extremely low, i.e. 25 mmHg or less, it may indicate low stroke volume, as in congestive heart failure. [3] The most common cause of a low (narrow) pulse pressure is a drop in left ventricular stroke volume.
The goal of the game is to shoot ducks and then collect them with hunting dogs, a concept similar to that of the classic NES game, Duck Hunt.

Humans are some of the best long distance runners in the animal kingdom; [6] some hunter gatherer tribes practice this form of hunting into the modern era. [7] [8] [9] Homo sapiens have the proportionally longest legs of all known human species, [3] [10] [11] but all members of genus Homo have cursorial (limbs adapted for running) adaptions not seen in more arboreal hominids such as ...
