  2. Bradycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradycardia

    For infants, bradycardia is defined as a heart rate less than 100 BPM (normal is around 120–160 BPM). Premature babies are more likely than full-term babies to have apnea and bradycardia spells; their cause is not clearly understood. The spells may be related to centers inside the brain that regulate breathing which may not be fully developed.

  4. Reflex bradycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflex_bradycardia

    Reflex bradycardia is a bradycardia (decrease in heart rate) in response to the baroreceptor reflex, one of the body's homeostatic mechanisms for preventing abnormal increases in blood pressure. In the presence of high mean arterial pressure , the baroreceptor reflex produces a reflex bradycardia as a method of decreasing blood pressure by ...

  5. Hypotension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotension

    Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, is a cardiovascular condition characterized by abnormally reduced blood pressure. [1] Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood [2] and is indicated by two numbers, the systolic blood pressure (the top number) and the diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number), which are the ...

  6. Neurogenic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic_shock

    Neurogenic shock is a distributive type of shock resulting in hypotension (low blood pressure), often with bradycardia (slowed heart rate), caused by disruption of autonomic nervous system pathways. [1] It can occur after damage to the central nervous system, such as spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.

  7. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

    The most common cause of a low (narrow) pulse pressure is a drop in left ventricular stroke volume. In trauma, a low or narrow pulse pressure suggests significant blood loss. [8] A narrow pulse pressure is also caused by aortic stenosis. [3] This is due to the decreased stroke volume in aortic stenosis. [9]
