High diastolic blood pressure measured while standing in a person who stood up shortly after waking up. When it affects an individual's ability to remain upright, orthostatic hypertension is considered as a form of orthostatic intolerance. The body's inability to regulate blood pressure can be a type of dysautonomia.
For most people, recommendations are to reduce blood pressure to less than or equal to somewhere between 140/90 mmHg and 160/100 mmHg. [2] In general, for people with elevated blood pressure, attempting to achieve lower levels of blood pressure than the recommended 140/90 mmHg will create more harm than benefits, [3] in particular for older people.

The most common causes of cardiomegaly are congenital (patients are born with the condition based on a genetic inheritance), high blood pressure (which can enlarge the left ventricle causing the heart muscle to weaken over time), and coronary artery disease. In the latter case, the disease creates blockages in the heart's blood supply, leading ...
The term can also refer to the condition a computer running such a workload is in, in which its processor utilization is high, perhaps at 100% usage for many seconds or minutes, and interrupts generated by peripherals may be processed slowly or be indefinitely delayed.
The severity of hemorrhagic shock can be graded on a 1–4 scale on the physical signs. The shock index (heart rate divided by systolic blood pressure) is a stronger predictor of the impact of blood loss than heart rate and blood pressure alone. [11] This relationship has not been well established in pregnancy-related bleeding. [12]
The industry standard is for a profit margin between a 2.2 and 2.5 times markup, meaning a dress that cost $100 to produce might be sold to a retailer for $220. That retailer has to mark it up by ...
Ambulatory blood pressure, as opposed to office blood pressure and home blood pressure, [1] is the blood pressure over the course of the full 24-hour sleep-wake cycle. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring ( ABPM ) measures blood pressure at regular intervals throughout the day and night.
