2. Blood pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure_measurement

   A more accurate value of systolic blood pressure can be obtained with a sphygmomanometer and palpating the radial pulse. [11] Methods using constitutive models have been proposed to measure blood pressure from radial artery pulse. [citation needed] The diastolic blood pressure cannot be estimated by this method. The American Heart Association ...

3. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

   Novel methods to measure blood pressure without penetrating the arterial wall, and without applying any pressure on patient's body are being explored, [106] for example, cuffless measurements that uses only optical sensors. [107] In office blood pressure measurement, terminal digit preference is common.

4. Sphygmomanometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphygmomanometer

   A sphygmomanometer (/ ˌ s f ɪ ɡ m oʊ m ə ˈ n ɒ m ɪ t ə r / SFIG-moh-mə-NO-mi-tər), also known as a blood pressure monitor, or blood pressure gauge, is a device used to measure blood pressure, composed of an inflatable cuff to collapse and then release the artery under the cuff in a controlled manner, [1] and a mercury or aneroid manometer to measure the pressure.

5. Continuous noninvasive arterial pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_noninvasive...

   All methods measure peripheral arterial pressure, which is inherently different from the blood pressure detected from proximal arteries. Even the comparison between the two clinical “gold standards” invasive continuous blood pressure at the arteria radialis and noninvasive, but intermittent, upper arm cuff shows large differences.

6. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

   Hemodynamics or haemodynamics are the dynamics of blood flow. The circulatory system is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms of autoregulation, just as hydraulic circuits are controlled by control systems. The hemodynamic response continuously monitors and adjusts to conditions in the body and its environment.

7. Management of hypertension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_hypertension

   Management of hypertension. Hypertension is managed using lifestyle modification and antihypertensive medications. Hypertension is usually treated to achieve a blood pressure of below 140/90 mmHg to 160/100 mmHg. According to one 2003 review, reduction of the blood pressure by 5 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 34% and of ischaemic heart ...
