2. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

   In adults in most societies, systolic blood pressure tends to rise from early adulthood onward, up to at least age 70; [32] [33] diastolic pressure tends to begin to rise at the same time but start to fall earlier in mid-life, approximately age 55. [33] Mean blood pressure rises from early adulthood, plateauing in mid-life, while pulse pressure ...

   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 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 ...

   You’ve likely heard your health care provider say your blood pressure is something like “120 over 80,” typically a larger number over a smaller number. Together, the two are measured in ...

6. 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.

   Upon analysis, scientists found that participants who stayed on standard statin treatment for their lifetime increased their quality-adjusted life years by 0.24-0.70, and those on higher-intensity ...
