2. 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 ...

3. Vital signs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vital_signs

   Blood pressure is recorded as two readings: a higher systolic pressure, which occurs during the maximal contraction of the heart, and the lower diastolic or resting pressure. [11] In adults, a normal blood pressure is 120/80, with 120 being the systolic and 80 being the diastolic reading. [12] Usually, the blood pressure is read from the left ...

4. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

   Blood pressure is one of the vital signs—together with respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature—that healthcare professionals use in evaluating a patient's health. Normal resting blood pressure in an adult is approximately 120 millimetres of mercury (16 kPa) systolic over 80 millimetres of mercury (11 kPa ...

   The doctor will also look at your blood pressure, which can also affect tinnitus. To rule out other conditions, you may also have imaging (such as an MRI of the head and neck), CT scan, or an MRA ...

6. 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.

7. Cardiovascular disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_disease

   Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is any disease involving the heart or blood vessels. [3] CVDs constitute a class of diseases that includes: coronary artery diseases (e.g. angina, heart attack), heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, carditis, aortic aneurysms, peripheral artery disease ...

   The risk of developing type 2 diabetes, stroke, and depression may be higher in people with a "sweet tooth" who prefer sugary foods, new research suggests.

9. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

   The resting heart rate of a newborn can be 120 beats per minute (bpm) and this gradually decreases until maturity and then gradually increases again with age. The adult resting heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 bpm. Exercise and fitness levels, age and basal metabolic rate can all affect the heart rate. An athlete's heart rate can be lower than ...
