The blood supply to the femoral head and neck is enhanced by the artery of the ligamentum teres derived from the obturator artery. In adults, this is small and doesn't have much importance, but in children whose epiphyseal line is still made of cartilage (which doesn't allow blood supply through it), it helps to supply the head and neck of the ...
Arterial occlusion is a condition involving partial or complete blockage of blood flow through an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to body tissues. [1] [2] An occlusion of arteries disrupts oxygen and blood supply to tissues, leading to ischemia. [1]
Reduced blood flow to the heart associated with coronary ischemia can result in inadequate oxygen supply to the heart muscle. [6] When oxygen supply to the heart is unable to keep up with oxygen demand from the muscle, the result is the characteristic symptoms of coronary ischemia, the most common of which is chest pain. [6]
You might only experience high blood pressure symptoms if your blood pressure is very high. Very high blood pressure can cause symptoms like: Nosebleeds. Anxiety. Severe headaches. Chest pain ...

At the time, a normal systolic blood pressure was determined by adding your age to 100. Thus, a 60-year-old would be assumed to be perfectly normal with a very high, health-destroying systolic ...
A coronary occlusion, or coronary artery disease, is the partial or complete obstruction of blood flow in a coronary artery. This condition was first discussed in 1910 by Sir William Osler . [ 1 ] This condition slows or blocks the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart . [ 2 ]
A hypertensive emergency is not based solely on an absolute level of blood pressure, but also on a patient's baseline blood pressure before the hypertensive crisis occurs. Individuals with a history of chronic hypertension may not tolerate a "normal" blood pressure, and can therefore present symptomatically with hypotension , including fatigue ...
