  2. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

    Pulse pressure is calculated as the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure. [3] [4]The systemic pulse pressure is approximately proportional to stroke volume, or the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole (pump action) and inversely proportional to the compliance (similar to elasticity) of the aorta.

  3. Dawn phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_phenomenon

    Management of the dawn phenomenon varies by patient and thus should be done with regular assistance from a patient's physician. Some treatment options include, but are not limited to, dietary modifications, increased exercise before breakfast and during the evening, and oral anti-hyperglycemic medications if a patient's HbA1c is > 7%.

  4. Pulsus paradoxus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsus_paradoxus

    Pulsus paradoxus, also paradoxic pulse or paradoxical pulse, is an abnormally large decrease in stroke volume, systolic blood pressure (a drop more than 10 mmHg) and pulse wave amplitude during inspiration. Pulsus paradoxus is not related to pulse rate or heart rate, and it is not a paradoxical rise in systolic pressure.

    On the flip side, a diet high in added sugar, refined carbs, and saturated fat increases blood sugar and worsens insulin resistance, in turn, leading to type 2 diabetes, adds Palinski-Wade.

    An arteriovenous fistula can increase preload. [5] Preload is also affected by two main body "pumps": Respiratory pump - Intrapleural pressure decreases during inspiration and abdominal pressure increases, squeezing local abdominal veins, allowing thoracic veins to expand and increase blood flow towards the right atrium.

    Normal A1C for people without diabetes is below 5.6 percent, Dr. Peterson says. Levels between 5.7 percent and 6.5 percent suggest prediabetes, and an A1C of 6.5 percent or higher puts you in the ...

    By building muscle strength, strength training was linked to a 10% to 15% increase in strength, Bone Mineral Density, insulin sensitivity, muscle mass and decrease in blood pressure. [24] Several studies have made it clear that exercise helps with blood sugar control and has shown to lower HbA1c levels by approximately 0.6% in patients with T2D ...

  9. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

    Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Most of this pressure results from the heart pumping blood through the circulatory system . When used without qualification, the term "blood pressure" refers to the pressure in a brachial artery , where it is most commonly measured.
