2. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

   A simple view of the hemodynamics of systemic arterial pressure is based around mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse pressure. Most influences on blood pressure can be understood in terms of their effect on cardiac output, [77] systemic vascular resistance, or arterial stiffness (the inverse of arterial compliance). Cardiac output is the ...

3. Mean arterial pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_arterial_pressure

   In medicine, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) is an average calculated blood pressure in an individual during a single cardiac cycle. [1] Although methods of estimating MAP vary, a common calculation is to take one-third of the pulse pressure (the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures), and add that amount to the diastolic pressure.

4. Blood pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure_measurement

   A minimum systolic value can be roughly estimated by palpation, most often used in emergency situations, but should be used with caution. [10] It has been estimated that, using 50% percentiles, carotid, femoral and radial pulses are present in patients with a systolic blood pressure > 70 mmHg, carotid and femoral pulses alone in patients with systolic blood pressure of > 50 mmHg, and only a ...

   As with adults, blood pressure below 120/80 is normal for teens. For those 12 and younger, a reading below the 90th percentile of their peers is ideal, according to the American Academy of ...

6. What is Hypertension? Everything You Need to Know - AOL

   Hypertension develops when the force of the blood coming from your heart consistently puts too much pressure on the walls of your arteries. Over time, this pressure can cause small tears in your ...

7. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

   However, pulse pressure has consistently been found to be a stronger independent predictor of cardiovascular events, especially in older populations, than has systolic, diastolic, or mean arterial pressure. [3] [12] This increased risk has been observed in both men and women and even when no other cardiovascular risk factors are present. The ...

8. Wiggers diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiggers_diagram

   A Wiggers diagram modified from [1] A Wiggers diagram , named after its developer, Carl Wiggers , is a unique diagram that has been used in teaching cardiac physiology for more than a century. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In the Wiggers diagram, the X-axis is used to plot time subdivided into the cardiac phases, while the Y-axis typically contains the following ...

9. 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 ...
